My church is looking to buy one of these babies instead of buying a lower spec analogue desk. Has anyone got any experience of using one?

Not seen that one, but have used Yamaha digital desks, the main difference is calling up the pages on screen to access the individual controls. tis easy once you know how, but if people with no experience are to use it, go for analogue, there's less for them to feck up!

Also Digitals still have a habit of crashing at the most innapropriate time, though that is being improved on

Looks not a million miles away from the Yamaha 01v 96 I use, can honestly say ha been one of the best investments I've ever made but I will also agree with the above comments about going standard if other people are going to use it, mine has a manual that reads like one from a jumbo jet, and you have to read it carefully to start understanding how it works o you won't get the best out of it/are likely to give yourself a very bad time through pressing the wrong thing at the wrong time.
On the crashing front, mine never has, ever, and it was a NOS item.
