To add to this Andy, I've had the A&H MixxWizzard
20/8/2 in my studio since it came out in 87(ish) and have the WZ3-16/2 for my PA
and am really happy with both - build quality, noise, eq, aux sends, long
faders, seperate phantom power..... I guess the only Just a couple of things I'd
say about the 16/2 are:
1. it doesn't have a talkback feature (important when needing
all chanels and using a multicore).
2. the effects aren't that useful unless you reprogramme them
with the software.
3. some of the control placement in the master section is a
little strange -
But you're looking at the 14 version aren't
you...
I had the Mackie CFX16 and was a bit disapointed on quality
and features - but the A&H is significantly more for the 16chanel version
.
Good luck.
Ian.

Hi Andy,
I have recently reviewed most of the mixers on your list. If your budget
allows you to buy an Allen & Heath, you won't be
disappointed. The Mix Wizard series (I have the 14:4:2) are the
most flexible mixers you will find in this price range. I use it for both
looping and as FOH mixer when performing with my band. The Mackie 1604 was my
2nd choice, also a very good mixer imo.
Plusses compared to Mackie 1604:
- More routing options (matrix mixing)
- mono sub-out
- All 6 aux sends (1/2, 3/4, 5/6) are pre or post fade
- Configurable features (internal switches) e.g. mono/stereo aux
send/returns
- Extra inputs on stereo channels
- Very usable EQ
Btw, A&H also have a WZ 16:2 with internal FX. The most
flexbile mixer for loopers however is the 20S, that's a monitor mixer with
12 aux send/returns per channel but almost twice the price of the
14:4:2 :)
