If you were developing a prototype set of algorithms for essentially a signal processing process, where you want to easily alter settings and try different sequencing combinations and different combinations of processing techniques etc.  Would you control this model though a series of m-files, write a GUI or use Simulink?

In the past I have always used the first two methods and found them to work fine for me.  But then they were only developed fo me to use!  

What I need to develop now will be used as an industrial tool, to be used by different people so needs to be straightforward and useful to use.

I've also never used Simulink and am wondering if it's worth the time to learn.

Thanks in advance for your advice
