Bingo!!  I regularly find myself moving 3 or 4 faders with one hand (and
not necessarily in the same direction), while at the same time, muting
or unmuting 2 or 3 channels with my other.  On a digital mixer, in the
same amount of time, you'd only be able to get one menu level deep on
the first change.

Not for me, thanks.  And that doesn't even take into account the fact
that I just prefer the sound of a good analog mixer (and NO brick wall
limiters!!!!!).
