John-
Robin seems to be a very on-top-of-things guy and I'm very glad he's the rep for our region.
I doubt that any of us will be disappointed in the Versarray when it is deployed properly and fed a decent mix.
We had a Mark VIII years ago, and I thought it was a great sounding desk, although the confusing pre/post switching took some getting used to. For us, the only operational downside was that it really didn't like being trucked around, and some mixerpersons had a gear snob attitude about the name plate. In all, it was a pretty impressive piece. I suspect the Versarray will be similarly impressive, and might just be one of the products that breaks the anti-Peavey mold.
Have fun, good luck.
