When I record a group, I usually put up 4 mics in an A-B X-Y
configuration, and then the occasional spot mic when needed. I often
use eq on the individual channels to blend the sound from the mics, so
I'd really love it if there were individual channel eq.

I would absolutely love something like this. Even without the eq on
individual channels.
The other thing I'd love (while you're in the designing mood...) is a
small portable D/A converter with an eq in it. It would take in optical
or coax S/PDIF and then have a digital eq, and then output a line level
signal. Perhaps if you just added a digital input to your mixer above,
which would also be useful as an alternate clock source.
