Just wondering how big is the difference between the older Mackie mixer's pres and the newer ones with the XDR preamps?

Is a older Mackie (CR1604vlz) still worth having?

Would a new (or even older) 16x8bus sound better than a new CR1604vlz pro or pretty much be the same?
 
There's not much difference except for a whole lot of Mackie, Inc. marketing hype. :D

Seriously, though, the XDRs do spec out slightly better, but we're talking differences that can't be easily heard. Both are good and worth having.
