I was considering a 1608, (form actor, weight, function) but seeing as how many of you are using the same "antiques" as I already own... Now, Lee poses a really good question. i.e., My M1604 was in the shop in '11, and dragged it out for a friend last year - lots of noisy pots that cleared up lickety-split. Luckily. but... a good note to run the spare mixer in the show cycle once in a while. I like this as an option - very smart. My QSC has a "two channel mixer" on each cab. - six cabs-12 channels. Carrying a lot of big, heavy iron there. But you won't lose that much functionally (at least channel strips...) That's why you paid good money for a tried and true desk. A failure in your system would indeed be a BIG game of pick-up-stix. (shudder) Evan - I think we can all see why you are successful.
