One thing to consider...
...I'd be a little wary of the Studiolive 16.0.2 because it uses Firewire as its interface. Speaking as a Firewire user, it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep going and I'm actively looking at other alternatives for the next time I change/upgrade gear.
The other thing might be that if 12 mic inputs is "sufficient" you may be falling foul of what I'm about to christen "Bobbsy's Law": the number of mic inputs you need is always what you have plus one more.
Something you might consider would be the Soundcraft Signature 22 MTK ( Soundcraft Signature 22 MTK | Sweetwater.com ), It's similar in price to the Presonus, (actually a bit cheaper) has more mic inputs, has Soundcraft Ghost pre amps which I know to be very nice...and it connects via USB which a nice element of futureproofing.
