I was only passingly familiar with the Presonus and, of course, I've heard of the X32. In fact, I've used it a couple of gigs (it was part of the kit provided at certain bigger gigs).

Neither is what I'd call inexpensive though... I'm hoping for something a little less pricey. And I'd rather something analog (except for the FX, obviously). Since I'm also the sound man at 95% of our gigs, I can't take the time to dive into menu and sub-menu pages, the way I'd need to with most digital boards. I'd need instant access to everything, hence the preference for an analog mixer.

Thanks, as always, Ross for the reply... you're definitely one of the most knowledgeable and trusted participants around these parts.
