Building a band system to isolate IEM mixing from venue / engineer

I wonder whether the X32 rack is overkill for your needs. As has been suggested, there will be a steep learning curve and many features that you do not need. 
 

Why not go for a CQ20. You already know the basic CQ philosophy. The only limitation as far as I can see it 6 six outs. That is only a problem if everyone wants a separate stereo mix. 

 

If it were up to me I'd likely manage with my CQ12; sometimes we'll not get drum feeds and it has 6 outs.  However, a couple of the band want to future proof our needs and feel that the £677 X32 is the way forward.  Oddly nobody wants a stereo IE feed so I'll likely be the only one doing so.
