Allen & Heath GS3 16:8:2 Mixer - Preamps Quality?

Hi,

First post. I hope I can contribute a bit as time goes by as well as picking brains here!

Does anyone have a view on the quality of this mixer's preamps? It's about 10 years old and no longer manufactured. I got a view over at Cubase.net that Allen & Heath mixers are generally well regarded but nothing specific on the preamps.

Mackie preamps vs. . A&H

With GC offering the Mixwizard 16:2 for $800, my credit card is getting the urge to buy something - even though new mics are next on my "list", that mixer is tempting.

I currently have a pair of Mackie 1402s - a VLZ and a VLZ Pro. I use them primarily as a banks of mic preamps for on-site recording, coming out of the inserts into a MOTU 24i.
