Keep in mind that the slots on the Yamaha desks (at least before the CL - I don't about them) only can do 16 ch each.

I had the M7CL-48ES on my last tour.  It's a terrific console and the CAT5 snake was nice.  It's a hell of a lot lighter and easier to move around and wrangle.  We used the SB168's at the stage.  Patching was very easy and I never had any issues.

I believe it would use the same SB168 heads at the stage.  Still, I love the digi snake.       :)

It would likely be cheaper and easier to sell your LS9-32 and snake and put the money you would have spent on a 3rd party digital snake towards a board that was designed around one.  An A&H GLD system should be within reach, and may require less out of pocket cash than adding a digital snake to your current system.

Or if you're really happy with Yamaha as a whole, you could purchace a "CL-series" RIO rack for the LS9.  This is my upgrade path for my DM 2000. 

Advantages:

-It will give us a nice digital snake for the DM 2000 now.
-It will allow me to spread out the upgrade path over time.
-It will be a product we can use with other Yamaha products in the future, both CL-series and others.
-It will allow us to have an older backup-mixer in stock once we upgrade, and this backup will be compatible with our future preamp-racks.
-And it will allow the back-up desk of the future (DM 2000) do be able to do smaller gigs on it's own with an analog snake due to it's built-in preamps (just like the OP will with the LS9).
-It will also allow us to use an existing inventory desk for digital split/gain share-situations in the future.

Quiz:  Why am I assuming the RIO racks will be compatible with the desks Yamaha are to release after the CL 1/3/5?

Out of curiosity, what do a pair of Dante MY cards and a Rio rack cost?

To control the RIO racks you need a CL series console, so with LS9 of DM1/2000 is not going to work.
