3) Balanced inserts on the stereo buss that can be switched in and out, a la TL Audio. Again, very useful.
4) Buttons to switch between mic and line inputs. I REALLY miss them to the point that I've given up using the line ins because of the constant repatching and use the (albeit unbalanced) patch bay insert ins instead.
5) the possibility of having 16 channels of adat rather than eight. This should be possible with a firmware update and it would make me (and I suspect many other users) very happy.
Anyway, as it stands nothing can touch the R-16 for functionality, sound quality and value for money. I have recently had a rack summing box - in a similar price range as the R-16 - in my little studio, and was left wondering on who would pay the same money for something with no analogue eq or mic preamps given that the quality of the summing was very similar.

I think Mike has just about covered all of these in the R24
