Now that I have used the 2100.5 mixer for more than two minutes I'd like to rephrase from my earlier post in this thread from "I like better" to "I like 100 times better" I see that most of the time I'm adjusting volume, and the new mixer is is great for that. And If I want to alter pans, then I need to click to get there - I can live with that.

Also being able to mute or solo so easily now is a real plus.

My notion of a "RB-ish" mixer is really all the functionality of the new BIAB mixer, except all aspects are visible and accessible at once - So I can both alter and see every setting for all tracks in one place. But I'm pretty happy as is - much better.
