You're correct, Arche3. I think a 'donor' D-Command might be a good investment.

Trouble is, since COVID the price of a used unit seems to have gone up quite a bit here in the UK. I guess people started to work from home more and these controllers are so compact, yet versatile, they are still very popular and well liked by end users.

When you compare the prices to current Avid products with similar features, its easy to see that many users simply can't afford to upgrade Hopefully prices will begin to fall back to pre-pandemic levels shortly.
