I own an MG16/4 and I like it. No its not spectacular but its a sturdy reliable quiet board. Was a perfect place for me to start. I havent mixed on too many nice boards but i have used AH GL 32 channels and 48 channels both 8 buss. Nicer yamaha boards of 32 and 48 channels and mackie 32 channel boards. And for the money having and MG mixer around as a backup or something simple to throw in for a small gig is a godsend if you ask me. Never let me down except for only having 2 aux sends. I think the sound quality is really actually pretty good.
