BCF2000 What can I do with it?

I've been trying to wrap my head around using a board like the BCF2000 with Freestyler, can't seem to put the pieces together in my head.
I get the concept of Sub masters. I would assume/expect that the BCF2000 would control sub masters as follows:
- Faders represent submaster intensity;
- The rotary knob(s) just above each fader can be select the respective sub master element, pushing the knob is equivalent of select/start.
- Buttons below the knobs can be set to start / stop, etc..
What I'm really after is the "simple" functionality of the trusty old Intellabeam 700 controller. I'm dating myself a bit here . Simple board, 20 or so buttons representing presets.
I know I can achieve the concept of presets using Freestyler and other "button" boards, but I haven't been able to figure out how to run two presets simultaneously. E.g I have PAR cans that I want under independent preset control than my moving heads. Each "class" of light would have its own presets, intensity and on/off.
