So far it's vaporware - plus I'd wait a bit after they start shipping before jumping ship, I'm sure they will have their teething problems too ;) .

The specs look nice and nice overall features, but like the wise RR mentioned it's a non-existent product. Available maybe in May.
I would wait until after the first 20 owner reviews come in. At least the DL has been around a bit and you know what you are getting into buying one.
A person surfing the web looking for info on a Mackie DL will easily find this site and gain a wealth of "inside" info that would help them to make a informed decision. Right now the B X18 is a "pig in a polk" could be a huge waste of $ 700.00

Request for v4... could the digital Trim function be reflected in the channel input meters.
The new trim function is great. It actually makes the internal iPad channel usable now that the signal level can be cut back. Unfortunately the meters don't reflect this gain reduction. Although the signal is reduced, the meters continue to show a peaked input signal. It's minor I know. but it would be nice to have.

The reason it's that way is that you do want to know the real input levels since clipping levels in the analog section is needed the rest is just math. A software switch would satisfy both in setup or somewhere to switch the meters.

But the iPad channel isn't analog so no prob having the meter "post trim" on that one channel :) . It's "just software" ;) - I'm sure that Mackie just didn't have the time to do it right yet :) .
