Correct on all the pricing.
The S3L is 16-64 inputs depending on how many stage boxes you buy.
Seems to be limited to one engine card though which is a dealbreaker for most people. Hard enough fitting things in 2 on an SC48.

They typical schedule (when we arrive in a city in advance of the load-in) would be the crew gets to a venue about 90 minutes before part of the band arrives (drummer/anyone else that needs extra time). An hour after that, the full band arrives for soundcheck (which usually only lasts 30 minutes or less). I use soundcheck in the very general sense - they already expect everything to be mostly dialed in, and that is just their time to get used to the space and touch up the set for the night.
There is not time to build mixes from the ground up. On the occassions we have to do that, we have to arrange the schedule for longer times for each of those segments, and it's usually viewed as the crew having issues and taking away from the bands free time - something I hate doing.
When I am going in with a show file that I've worked many shows on, I know all I have to do is get the house to sound like I want it, and my file is going to take me 95% there - I can tweak a bit during check and be ready for the show - no pressure, no concerns. When I have to use new gear or no file, I have a much more stressful day - and everyone knows it - they can hear the difference too.

But the audience would only perhaps notice a difference in relation to the quality of the performance, which could of course be effected in relation to how smoothly your sound check went. ...
