i like both but there's no denying the Allen Heaths are built to an extremely high quality and are a joy to mix on
I aint doubting the quality, what i doubt is the layout of the mixer, the size of the buttons on there, the fader travel... 100mm UP faders? Thats NOT right. True, they have the advantage of slightly better volume fading.

What you are forgetting is that Allen and Heath make studio consoles to an amazing standard, i'd kill for one personally. BUT, although they apply the same standard to the DJ mixer in terms of quality, it looks like they didnt make the physical design very intellgent. I want my mixer to blend with me, not get in the way, i want to have to look at it only when striclty necessary. And this is what it does for me.

Also, the filters on the Allen and Heath are superb, but badly implemented. In fact its the same on the 600. GREAT filters, badly implemented. I mean - how ****nig hard is it to put an LFO AND a manual control. BUT NOOO, neither of these companies did it. Dont get me wrong, i know how to modulate a manual filter by hand......

And why on earth hasnt anyone botherd with parametric EQs yet?????

IMO.
