I suspect this is unsuitable, but I mention it as "may be worth a look".

I've been quite pleased with my SoundCraft Ui24R. It's a quite different arrangement, surfaceless with a web browser interface (I use a touch screen), but I certainly don't put it through one-nighters. Ui16R is also rack mountable. (so, technically, is the Ui12, but it has mounts only at one end, so would not be good thrown around.)

The browser interface might be a killer as the screen would need to be visible in bright light.
I've found the networking a puzzle, but have settled on permanently set to Wi-Fi hot-spot plus Ethernet and its default IP addresses, otherwise it seems to need some 'Net infrastructure support ... DHCP or some such.
