I just went with an analog Spectra T for theater. The sound quality is unmatched by other consoles, both analog and digital, in its price range. We don't have a huge budget, and doing a renovation to our main-stage sound system will probably cost us our budget for the next few years. Therefor, it's important that this console lasts us for many. With a digital console, it would probably be obsolete, if not damaged by the heat, within a few years. Our location is in a semi-outdoor theater in Hancock, NY. In the summer, the temperature at the mix position gets over 120 degrees. In my opinion, that's a no-no for digital.
