I know there are better consoles out there but seeing the Presonus for around $500 used is so tempting!
Go for it.
I use my 16.0.2 for anything I used to use the ubiquitous mackie 1202 or 1402 for.
Unlike the mackie you get far better EQ, you don't need any additional hardware at all (comps, f/x) and unlike all the other recommended digital offerings you don't need a tablet or PC to accompany it.
One nice padded zipper case and you are set for weddings, meeting rooms, small ensembles -and user friendly enough that you can even mix with it while playing (reach over in the dark, count along the faders with your fingers and adjust accordingly without even having to look at it -the one disadvantage of a touchscreen!) This same feature is also great if you are doing set-up and leave and non-audio folk are having to manage it -I even have covered everything except the faders to not intimidate people "just adjust these 2 sliders here"
Something that's really hard to quickly educate on a tablet -you always get that phone call of "we accidentally touched something and now the screen with sliders is gone!"
Overall it's a handy audio toolkit and one of the harder working devices in my inventory after retiring the Mackie.
If there was a "tablet-style" mixer-box with 4 assignable soft-knobs on it's blank side then 90% of my presonus jobs would change to that! Even more if they made it with a built-in power amp.
