Spider Jr

I talked to Dave Hill (Cranesong) long ago about the Spider, long before the unit ever hit the market. I'm with you on the pricepoint (but only because I can't afford the Spider right now), and he mentioned that they might make a 4 channel version (The Flea?? ). I know you don't need the mixer part, but for many others, a 4 ch. unit with a/d would be very cool indeed. IAE, I have yet to meet a Cranesong piece I didn't love.

Anyone tried using this as a summing mixer (somewhat like D2B, although less channels) for the back end of a DAW? It would require lots of submixes routed to it, or a few Spiders, but I bet it would kick serious ass.
