I've been doing the summing box thing for 3 or so years now and have come up w/ system that works nicely, but I'm always game for improving things and streamlining the workflow a bit.  

The main benefits to this setup (summing controversy or not) to me is implication of outboard.  While I don't have gobs and gobs of great gear, what I have is a definite improvement over plugins in MOST cases.  I'd like to make that ALL cases if I'm going through the hassle of recall, etc.  

Lead vocals, drums buss, bass and 2 buss are a hardware must for me, w/ the help of a space echo, and occasionally a PCM41 and PCM60.... everything else sorta plays 2nd fiddle, because the gear choices start to get bleak...

What are you guys doing?

I've always done "outboard summing" with a console so I guess that's kinda cheating.  I have done a couple of things on the SPL "Mix Dream" and found that the insert points help greatly, but that I have to plan which outputs will end up in the channels with the insert points ahead of time which can be a bit of a struggle [unless its an album where all (most of) the tracks line up in which case its not too tough to get a work flow and rhythm happening.
