Not as magical as the Behringer x32 rack with iPad or laptop control options.
Can't comment as I can't even consider Behringer gear for the types of rigs I provide.
Someday Behringer might rehabilitate their image, but until that day arrives Berhinger is what people buy for themselves, not something they rent from someone else.
I don't think the x32 OR SAC even comes close to the needs of the $10K crowd, but for a small owner operated system, it's bang for the buck. I think if I wanted to spend $3K for a full x32 console, I'd keep looking elsewhere and save a few more bucks for something closer to the Soundcraft/A&H stuff.
I've looked at the lower-cost Soundcraft stuff (sub-$10,000). I'd pick SAC over that.
In the >$10,000 range, I'd never make the mistake of using SAC again.
$5,000 is a pretty sweet spot for SAC.
As much as I've been disappointed with B gear, I've come to accept it as a disposable tool. I'll be taking another look at B at NAMM.

I used to be that way.
I've had too many snide comments about using Behringer gear from all but the "total amateur" crowd.
I've also had to much Berhringer gear die on me (during the middle of a show, no less) to make me feel comfortable about using an X32 until it proves itself.
OTOH, the X32 does have a pretty good user interface.
