Your average and maybe not so average MI desk require unscrewing a shitload of screws to get to an interior where hardly anything is field-replaceable, so opening up the desk isn't really much of a viable option, even for an experienced hardware repair wizzard. Thus, carrying a spare is not only a question of cheap vs. expensive, but also a question of actual serviceability. My setup when using the console have redundancy in that the X32Rack is already on stage and ready to take over on short notice should the console fail (only means I'll have to mix from PC instead of console).
