I too spoke to SSL about it a while ago (I'm sure many people did), and my suggestion was that it had a minimum of double as many inserts, as well as a way to hook multiple units together so that you can insert any piece of outboard to any channel. (obviously this second request is not an easy one)

I'm still considering the matrix console if there was a matrix with 24 or even 32 channels I would take it I was hoping this new unit would matrix-ise the 900, but it does not seem to be that..
