Mike, I guess I am not ruling out tape altogether, but I really know
nothing about these machines. Do you have a recommendation on a
smaller scale set up (16 tracks - you can't fit 6 people in my space)

Tracks don't take up a lot of physical space in the room, so there's
no appreicable difference in size between an Ampex MM-1200 24-, 16-,
or 8-track recorder. In fact, there's really not much difference in
terms of footprint between an Ampex and, say, a TASCAM MS-16 other
than that the TASCAM sits on a table or in a rack while the Ampex goes
all the way to the floor. The MM-1200 is a fairly small machine. So is
the Otari MX-80 series - newer, but harder to work on and probalby
harder to find parts for than the Ampex. An Otari MTR-90, Studer A-827
or MCI JH-anything are larger machines (as is the Ampex MM-1000) which
is why I didn't suggest those.

If you're going with ProTools anyway, then you might as well just
forget the recorder. You can use ProTools for your recorder, and you
can, if you insist, mix in ProTools. Or you can get a console and mix
using the console, and do some signal processing in ProTools. That's
probably the best of all worlds, but if you don't have space for the
console, then I guess you're stuck with "the box."

Thanks for all the input.
