Scott's suggestion is the exact setup that I am going to put into my studio later this year. I just recently got into API gear. Last year I bought 2 3124, 1 5500 eq, 1 2500 comp, as well as the Arsenal Audio stuff. I have over 40 channels of very high end pres in the studio (Neve, Focusrite, Amek, Wunder, Portico, Avalon, etc) but have been relying more and more on just the API's. I would love to get another 5-6 5500 eq racks and then my dealer suggested I look at the 1608. I am in the market for an ICON and was about to get one this month but with the Euphonix aquisition I may wait till the end of the year. I am planning to get the 1608 with at least 4 channels of the 527 comp and an ICON. I will use the 1608 for tracking and summing, automation will be ICON. I have and HD6 but have also started to use logic pro and it would be nice to use the 1608 with that as well.
