About the only reason to avoid integrated mixers is to save front
panel area, I guess.
Aside from the font panels, adding mixers is practically free --
basically just another jack, pot, and resistor per input, since the
summing amps are already there. That's a strong argument for building
in more inputs with attenuators. Scott makes a good case for
integrated mixing; you could say that having Mixers Everywhere (TM,
haha) provides you with more patching options.
Electrically, the on-board mixers keep the signal from going through
2 inverting op amps, right? And some patch cords.
The longer I think about this, the more I flip-flop! Thanks for the
input, guys... I think. ;-)
