I've only used an Xone 32 twice, but I hate having the gains back there. I prefer to have the main faders at max to allow for easier cuts, so I generally cue a track at one volume and then back off a notch or so before dropping it in, then gradually bring it up to match the other track. Reaching around the back of the mixer to do this is a pain in the ass in my opinion. Other than that, I think the layout is great and the LFO is pretty fun once you muck about with it for a bit. Never used one of the higher-end A&H mixers, but I'd love to give them a shot -- unfortunately they're just a little price-prohibitive in my book.
