Default How many sets of stereo monitors from XMON?

Looking into a new controller and haven't been able to find much info on the xmon hardware. Can someone tell me how many speaker outs XMON will give me with an ICON or S6? I'm currently using a C24 with main monitor outs going to a full range system with sub, alt monitors going to a pair of avantones, and the SLS output going to a small set of passive monitors. How will XMON handle this monitoring setup?
Thanks for any insight before I make the plunge.

Main, Alt, and Mini + SLS are the outputs
I haven't looked to see if the S6 can access them all

As stated above, S6 with XMON can access main, alt, mini, and SLS speaker outputs. Main and alt are up to 7.1 and mini and SLS are stereo.

Is that the same on S6 or ICON with the XMON? Thanks.

Thanks guys. That's good news. XMON more robust than I expected. Does anyone have any thoughts on the audio quality of XMON vs something like the Dangerous Monitor or the Crane Song Avocet?
