Anyone ever use a Fender MX-5200 series (MX-5216/MX-5224/MX-5232)? Found a 24 channel that we are wanting to use in live environment. Seems a good mixer based on features, still combing specs. Any comments? Fender doesn't strike me what they used to be, like Peavey, but I could be wrong too...

I found a tube mixer and wondering how many people have used tube mixers. My experience in mixers has been all solid state, so wondering how the tube mixer might change the sound? For the price and the repair I need to do, this could be a fun project to mess with. Anyone else?
