I would be very interested as well...I'm almost looking at the same upgrade you're undergoing, only without the O2R. I respect your dedication working with that thing....they had one of those at my college and the teacher said, if you can work those you can work anything....he wasn't kidding.

Anyway, I'm curious about the Toft ATB as well. There's a 16 channel unit available on the Dutch ebay site (marktplaats.nl) for €2500. That's not bad.
As far as which to get first, I would probably go for HD first, then the console. There comes a point when your workload increases and HD becomes a necessity in the studio. Maybe there's another console that catches your ear along the way. Who knows...Because you're obviously considering OTB vs ITB mixing. With PT(HD), you know what you get and it's totally in your hands. A 'main' console will automatically colour your mix in its own way, so you might want to be careful. At least for me, this is the reason I'm still "looking/listening around".

btw doesn't the Toft have a Digital Option (AD/DA) card?
