On the fence about getting a Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK

[safetyofobjects]

Been researching this for a while and wanted to ask here in case anyone has had any experiences with this mixer

What I need it for:

• Run into it
  – most ind outs from AR MK1
  – the rest of the AR channels out as a stereo pair, plus the effects
  – the stereo out from my AK
  – a mic
• Live mix everything
• Be able to multitrack record live takes
• Be able to mix recordings

I can accommodate to more or less channels, the whole point here is to use a tactile interface, no screens, and almost no computer

So, 'nauts:
1. Have you had any bad experiences with the Soundcraft Signature 12 mtk?
2. Have you used something similar that you would recommend over it?
