For me, in order of importance:-

1. Solo in Place
2. Mic / Line switchable with no repatching
3. 100mm faders
4. 2 channel digital in/out via SP-DIF
5. Rear connectors
6. Word Clock

Anything else is gravy for me
Good!

But don't you miss the direct outs? I've worked on both the GL2200 and Mixwizard and the direct outs have always been nice to have. I could switch from tracking to mixing in a heartbeat... Why did they remove the mic/line switch? It's very strange.

What's the deal with 100mm faders? Can someone please explain?

I do most of the automation inside the console - just minor changes on the console on the channels I use hardware compression etc.
