So stoked for more info!
if you decide to "sacrifice" the st CUE at mix time and use those pan+level knobs as a secondary input, you get 16 (8+8) channels. Add the 2 stereo fx returns (also with pan+level, as well as mono+AFL and routable to CUE) and you get 20chs. Finally add the mix insert point, which can be summed instead, total amount: 22chs

In esence, at mix time, on a single X-Desk:

-8 mono chs with gain, balanced insert point, pre/post direct out (think ext bussing), 2FX sends, pan, cut, solo, 100mm fader
-8 mono chs with pan+level
-2 st channels with pan+level and mono, AFL, to mix and to CUE switches
-st mix insert point that can be turned into a st input to mix
