It looks fantastic for its intended use of live mixing and recording. But as a replacement for a digital multitracker like a BR, Zoom or Tascam, it has a few limitations. It doesn't seem to have any virtual tracks, guitar effects, or drum machine. Still, combined with a good DAW, it could be quite a good recording solution because you could get all that missing stuff from software.

I was just gonna ask about the virtual tracks. It looks sweet for the right situation but I love my Tascam Dp24sd.
My other thought is with that small screen your gonna have tons of menus and Ive never liked Zooms menu system.

A desk with a built in recorder.

It looks very good indeed. I wonder if it works as a live desk. Hmmm....

Anyone gotten any hands on time in a store with one?   I'm curious. It looks fun.

My brother just bought a Behringer X32 which is basically 90% a mixing desk but it does at least let you record up to 8 channels to SD.
