I just checked out the euphonix stuff, do yourselves a favour and read the sound on sound magazine reviews on the mc control and the mc mix, just google euphonix mc mix sound on sound. You'll notice that Paul White mentiones the mackie control pro a few times in this review, now I have looked at it before and on a glance I'll rather go for the Mackie than the euphonix mc mix and I think Paul White feels the same. Check out the sound on sound reviews of the original mackie control and also the new mackie control pro, this would give you a propper idea of its funktions. After reading these reviews the mackie sounds easyer to opperate, sounds like it's simpler in layout and by the articles it sounds like it's less nesessery to be able to see the mackies displays in order to opperate. A big plus for me on the mackie is the dedicated transport section with jog wheel and I'm not sure but think the mackie is cheeper.
