Yeah I know -- I just wanted to avoid mixing onboard and external I/O for small jobs. I think if I got the LS9-16 I would probably buy (in addition to ADAT cards) a MY8/AD24 card to up the onboard input channels to 24 ... that plus the 8 outs and USB record could hold me over very well.

However on the flip side, it might also be nice to run exclusively ADAT so, as in our theater where it may not be 100% secure, you can unplug the board in a sec and store it somewhere safe in between shows. But 16 ADAT input channels is cutting it a bit close on capacity ... would be great if you could set up all 32 this way (and all 64 for the LS9-32).
