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. ;-)
