I'm looking for a small format digital console with a minimum of 16 mic inputs, 8 analog out, 8 aux sends, 4 fx sends, 2 channels of AES in/out and total recall for a band. So far I've looked at the offerings from several companies and I belive that the best package is a LS9-16.

The only thing I don't like about a LS9-16 is that it's kind of expensive to expand if they decide they need a digital snake.
Is there any other options?

Si compact is a good option, but I haven't tried the V2.1 software. I had a run on it last year and thought it was awful, a pita to set up, slow responsiveness to changes and som other stuff, but I thought the compressor was really good. Has it changed?

Not positive if it meets all of your requirements as I've only got to play with it for a couple hours, but I particularly like digico's sd11. Small little console packed with a bunch of features, and IMHO a great layout. It's an expensive console though...

I never used one on V1 software, but recently mixed a "throw and go" on one and didn't have any problems with the speed. It was pretty easy and intuitive I thought.
