Haven't had my hands on it yet, but those that i trust that have indicate it sounds as good or better than the PM5D it replaces. i didn't like that it looks like they took the same BS UI from the M7, but at least they took the good electronics.

Of course since it has the ability to do the personal mixer thing the output count is a bit deceiving since it could handle more personal mixes if you add the boxes. But it's never going to have more than 16 inputs plus a few line level inputs. Any playback via USB chews up inputs as well.
But to be fair it's hardly an apples to apples comparison here. Love it or hate it, SAC does have at least the potential of a lot more I/O and routing possible. The Qu will probably serve you well and be a much better tool for the type of work you seem to be doing. But let's be realistic, you're not going to use it to mix musical theatre with dozens of wireless a full pit band, plus playback and all the necessary routing. It's not really in the same league to use a dumb analogy.
