I had a day's training on the Vi6 at Soundcraft in the UK about 18 months 
ago.  I fell in love with the sound, the feature set and the ease of use
and 
it could easily be my favourite digital board (which would make it my 
favourite board since I'm a digital fan).

You can hear the "but" coming, can't you?

The trouble was that, even the carefully tweaked training board in the 
factory suffered a couple of unexplained crashes/freezes during the day. 
Yes, the sound kept flowing but it took a very long minute or so of 
rebooting both times to regain control each time.  This had me VERY
nervous 
about using in in a truly live situation.  Since then (it was September
06) 
I haven't had the chance to use of play with a Vi6--does anyone know if
the 
software is acceptably stable now?
