You're NOT going to target the main DAW market with ANYTHING that costs over $8K or so, and that's at the very top. That's just the way it is for the most part. Anything costing over that should probably NOT be marketed to "project studios" or the like. That term has changed dramatically over the past few years. This console is priced (IMO) for the modern commercial facility that's most likely got a full blown PTHD system, where they're either gonna go for this or a Digidesign C24. Those products aren't marketed to "project studios". The Command 8 is though.

This will be more in competition with the SSL Matrix probably than anything else,.......something tells me the Matrix will win.

Even my place with a Neotek IIIC, 2" Tape machine, Quad Eight Sidecar and a pretty decent (if I do say so myself) rack of gear can't afford this, at least not for what it offers. I sure hope you know who you're marketing too.

I really won't be surprised at all if Mackie (did they survive btw?), corners this market in the same way their original 24x8 console did for "project studios".

Just my brash (quitting smoking and easily irritated) opinion.
