Just my $.02:

I'm not a huge fan of the CS2000 (having worked on one for a year or so). It's very, very neutral. No mojo at all. Instant recall is great, though.

I never got real comfortable with it though; some functions of the board just didn't seem intuitive, and a few of the commands (to back out of certain menus, turn off the mic pre pad, that sort of thing) didn't make sense. (The comment about different people doing different sections of the UI clear that up a lot, though. Thanks!)

If you HAVE to have instant recall, it's pretty neat. And it's pretty cheap. I believe a 24 fader CS2000 ran for $80,000 when it came out, (though I might be off a bit)

Pray to the outboard gods if you get that console. You'll need it.
