I had my hands on one today at a trade show here in the UK.
Nice heavy build / solid feel, its small but so heavy it wont be skidding around if you lean hard on it etc...
Definitely worth a look..
Its A&H's first recording desk for 10 years..
It has mappable midi control (for plug ins) - I asked about Hui protocol to control Pro Tools and the guy was unsure, but the faders moved some DAW software (Sonar?) with what seemed to be a nice smooth action..
Very handy size / "footprint" IMHO..
worth investigating.. IMHO
