I tried a personus studio live and thought it sounded very thin.
I currently use an Allen and Heath Xone 464 and love it, however it cant record. I do want to upgrade sometime this year, though unsure what my decision will be. The allen and heath is hard to beat for me. 4 mono channels, 8 stereo channels, a dj cross fader with analog filters on it, and 6 aux send.
