Unless you need a console that will actually mix, AS WELL AS work as a controller for Protools. The DM1000/2000 still, to this day do a bunch of things that other modem console won't and can't. And for their price point, find me any other console that will actually pass audio as well as work as a control surface in Protools AND chase time code.

Even today. Find me one.

It doesn't matter how good a console's preamps are or what the EQ sounds like, if it doesn't function the way you want it to, then it's useless.
