Yes, it has more headroom than PT. But the 4000 series has a lot more colouration/mojo just by bringing up the faders, without any need for the VHD.
I only referred to the summing aspect of the desk and not everything.
The summing is much cleaner, which is good for some people but not everyone.
You need a lot more outboard with the Duality to give it 'a sound' than with a 4000 series. Again, not necessary a bad thing.
You seem to have pretty much everything there is outboard wise, so I'm sure it's working well for you.
I have nothing against the Duality. It just annoys me that people talk so much bullshit when it comes to facts like electricity, maintenance costs and reasons why SSL dropped 4000 support.

This guy knows one or two things about clients and the "Wow" factor, why did he choose 2 dualitys instead of a 4000 for his new COMERCIAL facility in NYC?

Time will tell if he did the right thing. In the UK it would be a bad move. None of the 9K studios was/is making any money and all the 4000 rooms are booked full.
People don't like the sounds of 9Ks in the UK and neither do the bands here, which I can understand.
The Duality sounds almost identical to a 9k which of course is very popular in the States, for a reason I can't find. But then, things were always different in the States from here in London.
