Hello Mike.

If you decide to build a bigger version of the R16, I would suggest the following:

-100mm faders (this is very important)
-24 mono channels (please give 3 adat i/o's in addition to fw if some people want to use only adat. Using fw with high track counts could be a problem anyway)
-All connectors should be on the back panel of the mixer like in GL-series. If you put the R16 in front of a computer lcd, all audio cables are in front of your lcd panel. With GL-series you don't have this problem.

If these things show up in the bigger version, I am very much interested. Automation and motorized faders might increase the price too much so I don't suggest them.

Btw, I guess you could also build a new GL-series mixer with these preamps and eq's. I am currently checking out the GL2400 24ch version for recording / mixing in my studio and it looks more suitable for my needs than the R16. However, a bigger R-series version might change this.
