Thx. After a bit of pondering I cam to the conclusion that it makes no sense to use the LPD8 with this mapping. But I might port it to my launchpad. I see a few ways of doing the mapping.
1) just use 16 buttons as part of a generic juggle magic page. probably using the rest of the button for some more fx magic
2) do the mapping for each deck on one page. meaning you wouldnt need to only work with the deck in focus
3) do away with the shift button and turn it into a deck select A/C and B/D button instead. this way each side would use 16x2 buttons
2) seems a bit overkill, 3) might be nice but maybe also overkill .. 1) of course requires a bit more creativity.
obviously the launchpad is less tactile (both from the button size and responsiveness), but the up side is that you can dynamically color code the buttons from green to yellow to red. in this way you can visualize better in what mode you are currently in.
