Good observation. For this group, KISS is highly desirable.

As long as it will work fine without QLab or an external computer.

This is a small venue, about 150 seats. Tickets are between $9 - $14 and we
rarely have sold out houses. The only reason we can afford this board is that
we received a cash donation. Other than replacing ancient dimmers and lights,
I doubt if many other tech upgrades will be made - not even any "intelligent"
lights or LED's.
