Possibly a lot more than you can imagine. I got mine 1-1/2 years ago, and it's still working flawlessly. I know of 7 other area bands, and 1 club that are currently using the DL1608 (Seattle area). FWIW, I don't make recordings, and I don't use it for break music.
Oddeotek:
I'm another Seattle area DL1608 owner with hundreds of shows logged on this mixer. I don't usually record with it unless I use a couple of auxs into a portable handheld Tascam and I only use it wireless to an iPad Mini and an iPad 1. No problems so far except that the mixer will no longer charge the iPads when docked since the update last year. Using OS 5 on the iPad 1 and OS 6.1.3 on the Mini. I still get a kick out of the looks when I walk out into the audience on a song that I don't sing, sit down at a table with the Mini and adjust the mix while I use my left hand to hammer the bass parts. I am also running the iPad as a teleprompter for the song list and some lyrics and chord changes that I seem to forget. No problem switching between the two running programs.

Bummer that is stopped charging - its very convenient when it works.
As for getting funny looks - the first time I used the DL one of the band said to his mate 'the sound man has sat in the bloody crowd all night playing games on his ipad'. Very funny!
Wynnd:
right now I don't have a reason to upgrade my ipad itself. If they ipad becomes multi-tasking, that will move me to a new product. I can see using the mixer and having a split screen with OnSong on it.
Fluddman:
Wynnd, a split screen would be nice. I'd even be happy if it could just swap between Onsong and Masterfader in much less time that it takes now.
I get nervous when I am using Onsong and start to hear feedback - takes far too long to switch apps and deal with the problem. Which is why I always have an ipad docked in the DL.
Cheers
