The Toft is a little to expensive for me - and I think it's a ugly mixer. I'm not sure I could stand it in my studio. ha!

I was mainly interested in the Toft for the channel EQs which by all accounts are really nice. I've been following the Zed R16 for a similar reason - I want an analogue mixing solution that has decent inline EQ that can be used both at tracking and at mixing. It isn't the most aesthetically pleasing of consoles I agree.
I'm not tool fussed about the whole 'summing' thing, I simply want to be able to tweak my EQs with pots and hear my changes clearly - I've never been able to do that ITB; mouse and monitor are clunky and make it hard for me to really listen, even my MCU is compromised when it comes to sweeping frequencies to find problems and sweet spots.
Most of this for me isn't to do with quality of plugins or summing bus or whatever, it's I simply don't have much fun mixing ITB, it's a bit of a chore (bear in mind I'm a computer programmer/solutions architect by profession, so I'm looking at monitors for 9 hours a day - the last thing I want to do is be staring at them at the weekend etc)
