I'd like to think it's a little from column A and a little from column B. I did look it up though, over five feet wide and 160 pounds.

Something tells me I'll contact the seller in a few days if it's still available. I'm a COMPLETE GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT.

Honestly I've noticed that the wider the board I'm at the more I'm likely to get bottlenecked in the summing section, resulting in inferior sonics. Probably a lot to do with poor technique on my part and lower end boards. I've grown to prefer multiple smaller format mixers feeding a master summing mixer (that's a super simple path with transformer coupling on the ins and outs and a +/- 24 volt power supply). Not that I would run away from something big, I just find it easy to live without.
When in doubt, add resistance.

I'm on the fence about picking this up. Money isn't exactly steady right now but it'd be cool to meet someone local who's also into building stuff like this.
