     If you need more inputs, check out the 1402VLZ. If you need more 
inputs
and more sends, check out the 1604VLZ, or the LM3204. If you can find an
original 1202, or 1604, you can probably get a really good deal on them.
However, make sure that you can live without the extra options on the VLZ
series.
     Take care, Marc
