I had the 24 ch version of that mixer. it worked fine, easy routing options, didn't care too much for the pre's but I got some really decent recordings with it.
For $1000, if it all works and the faders are clean, everything's smooth... then yea, it's worth it. If it's going to mean that you have to buy a bunch of gear to make it work... then think about the total cost. If not, then it seems like a pretty good deal.
I'd recommend something that's smaller, better sounding and more practical like a used Mackie 1604 over that thing. Just because it is big and not really portable doesn't mean it's good. It was TASCAM's first attempt at an automated console. Something that is rather superfluous these days with software automation. It was designed more to be used with an analog machine. You don't use no stinkin' analog machine do you?
I agree with Remy. The Tascam analog boards NEVER had a good rep for decent-sounding pre's, and the EQ was anemic. And don't get me started with the headroom comparisons. While Tascam sold a lot of boards due to their big control layout and functionality, they let GM (Greg Mackie) whip them sonically with cleaner pre's and better output swing. I'd save the $$.
Im not the biggest of fan Tascam mixers, but the one I used for about 5 years worked fine for what I was doing. the link below features 3 songs that I recorded with the Tascam and one that I recorded with my O2R.
"Missing you" was recorded with the O2r. You be the judge. http://www.garageband.com/artist/billy_leach
