The ATB 24 would not degrade your mixes in the least, it would probably make them sound better.
Also, you would not be going through the toft pre's on mixdown. You would return your tracks to either line or monitor in jacks wich you could access via a button at the top of the mixer, so no repatching as well.

Hope this helps.

Thank you boxcar. Excellent reply! Thanks for the ATB manual. Yes.. going into the ATB input after the preamp into line or monitor. Malcom Toft did a nice job. A To D conversion on the way back would be a crucial point.

You are right. A/D on the way back into the computer/Pro tools.

in my experience the Toft is a nice console the only problem is the build quality is really really bad. At NAMM '10 the Toft was on display and it was in not quite good shape. the faders felt like crap the meters were sketchy, the knobs were all inconsistent in their feel.

Thank you for your response. I have read some simular comments about these issues. One source said they had corrected most of the issues on there subsequent production run of the consoles.
There doesn't seem to be anyone reselling there console. Evidenced by ebay?
Either they did't sell very many of them or people are keeping them.
What do you think?

i wouldnt buy one at all.
if your going to need a console for your mixing save your money and pay alot for something that has a reputation
there some real Tridents out there are very cheap and function well
