I like mixing bands on a Presonus just fine. I would not want to do anything on it that requires fast scene changes (presets for specific songs) as using fast scenes does not work well (or works well but is a nuisance).
I've not mixed on the X32 but I've fondled it a bit and I think I'd like it for either use (once I confirm that fast scene changes work OK if I need that).
The GLD is nice, but I recall reading about a problem with scenes (unverified) - it's also a lot more expensive, but that includes digital stage boxes.
Similarly priced is the Roland 480. I've never seen one in the flesh - it seems to have a nice feature set - save for the proprietary communication protocol.
About the same price is the Midas Pro1. Pros (sound) and Cons (some lack of facility).
Priced in-between is the LS9. For the money it's lacking in features, though it could be nicely improved via a firmware upgrade (that I've been hoping for a couple years on now). These days I can't see getting one unless it's a used one for say $5500 - and even then I might go for an X32 (for $5500 one could almost get an X32 and a spare!).

Have you looked at Midas Venice? It is also a great analog mixer, comes with 16, 24 or 32 channels, and has a firewire interface, which will allow you also to connect to a computer without any more cards or special interfaces.
The quality of the mixer is excellent.
