Cost and simplicity.. I dont have *that much* outboard gear any more,
but just enough to require a pretty hefty investment. It also seams
that if I am going to have analog outboard, then I am still going to
be dealing with a patch bay anyway.

Also, there is the cost/quality issue - It may be better to have two
really ace input channels than 24 that are just ok.  I am starting to
believe in that school of thought more and more as I get a chance to
experiment with high-end outboard.  I will admit to not really being
able to distinctly here the difference on a single track, but I have
noticed that mixing multiple tracks that have been processed in this
individual way makes for better/easier mixing.
