I know what you mean… I almost bought the Avantis last month, but after watching all the videos, testing out the new Director software, and reading the list of known issues/bugs, I too was gobsmacked by the lack of features, poor design choices, and underwhelming plugins & FX (especially considering the cost of the dPACK). The SQ series is actually a much better product with more features, and they finally added the RTA on the PEQ last firmware, so I went with that and a Waves SoundGrid system for LESS cost than the Avantis. I’m still dumbfounded by everything I learned, the Avantis looked so exciting at first. The dealer said they’ve increased the price of the Avantis 30% since release, and it still doesn’t have several features the Behringer X32 has.
