Having control of the signals into preamps would be the best indeed.
I just realized that if I buy a Audiofire Pre8, I will only have to add one addional 8ch preamp (OctoPre, Digimax or similar) and plug it into the AF12 to have at least 16 channel with preamps available; the four remaining line inputs in the AF12 could be used for DI's (bass, keys etc.) or maybe room mics via the FOH (easier to have controlled and not that critical).
I love it when a plan comes together!
