allen & heath mix wizard vs. Soundcraft

[tekara]

guys im having a bit of a dillemma right now between the

a&h mixwizard versus soundcraft spirit sx or spirit m12

has anyone used any of these? and can provide honest opinion?

mackie is not in the question!

I've used both. i'd go the a&h all the way - warmer sound, nicer feel. probably equal build quality. I'm a big a&h fan though so not sure if i'm biased

Allen and Heath every time.

thanks for the inputs

do you guys choose a&h because of the sound quality? or features? or both....heh

[machina]

I'd say sound quality first and foremost - the features are roughly the same if i remember correctly but the a+h craps all over the soundcrafts in terms of sound quality... features on a mixer don't really worry me so much - the only thing that is important to me is the number of busses and the sound quality... how many busses does the mixwizard that you're looking at have compared to the soundcrafts...
