Why not save your money, then, and get a few channels of some old API console
EQs or something like that?

The Crest and Midas will have 16 channels of 4 band eq for 1600 and 3500 est...
The API for the same amount of channels is much more. In the upstairs room,
we have 4 channels of API just recently bought and its incredible. We use
those with the summing buss. Instead of buying another summing buss and more
eqs, I figure the console route should be good. From what people are saying
about the Midas, it seems like a good idea. Go Sox.
