Two Sets of Monitors for a Soundcraft Desk?

[Stitch333]

Hi all,
I have a Soundcraft FX16 and I want to be able to run two sets of
Monitors off of it. I think I have the settings I'll need to accomplish this with:
1 stereo monitor from SUB output L/R and
1 stereo monitor from MONITOR output L/R

then, using the '2tk' and 'sub' buttons on the mixer,
select between the two outputs.

This'll work, right?

Buy or build a monitor switcher unless you're completely sure that both outputs are feeding the exact same signal to both sets of monitors

This was already suggested a couple times and the client doesn't want one.

Well, If you look once more at the schemo I posted, I do believe that
the way I have proposed is just that....am I right or wrong here?

Cheers!

Edit: its not exactly - the monitor send goes through an extra amp stage before
getting to the output. I can still dial in exact output with a nominal test tone and a DMM,
so Im not worried about matching levels per-say.
I will admit I am only looking for a working solution.
Not the best solution.

Edit 2: I am wrong. After speaking with Soundcraft, I am pulling out the soldering iron.
I just make a switcher box...


Oh well

well, you know my suggestion, right? Get one pair of monitors that you can trust.
