How many channels will suffice?  If you need 32, then the X32 is looking good.  If you can live with half that, you'll really save space and weight.  Or the usual old suggestion of an 01v96 with expansion card and single small rack with the extra pre/AD unit.

minimum of 20-24 mics plus a couple stereo inputs, the Wackie 1608, Line6 and 01v96 just aren't big enough. Lots of hype and static around about the actual performance and sound of the X32. To me for $2.5K, especially with this manufacturers history, any rational buyer has to know they are taking a flyer on reliability, yet the web is awash in hand wringing about build quality. I figure we can't lose on the reliability issue, either the board will be as well made as B claims or I get to go over to Uli's thread and start casting stones. I do need some insight on how it works, how easy it is to use, and how the preamps and onboard processing sound.

Well, I've got two of them.  So heres me two pennies.  It works great.  It is Very Easy To Use.  And it sounds really good.

Longevity?  Ask me in a couple of years.  But for now, I'm very very pleased.  For what it is, I don't see any competition at this price point.  Period.
