Yes, the mix is the same, but it will be coming through better D/A coversion and the mix will be recorded back into PT through better line inputs and A/D conversion. I dare say that there's gonna be a difference in the end result if the modded unit does what BLA (and several happy users) says.

I know very well that I can't change the fact that the song was recorded through the lesser line inputs (all preamps were Soundcraft) and A/D conversion. Those things I will test later. And yes, I'm monitoring through my console.

My apologies. You said in your post that "besides a couple of hi shelves, all processing was done in Pro Tools LE". You also said that you took photos of the console so you could re-create the mix, but you didn't mention that this was the summing portion of the mix. So I started off my response by explaining "if all processing was done in the box..." Some people mistakenly think that the box will make their already-printed mixes sound better just because the monitoring sounds different - it seems you know the difference. Ideally re-printing the mix WILL give you some sort of different sound, something beyond the board being ever so slightly different than the first session, despite your pictures - and you will be able to decide if it's "better" or "worse".
