Allen & Heath Zed 10 fx users?

Hey KTVA hive,
so I'm in the process of upgrading to n A&H zed10fx mixer/interface next week. I dug my old M-Audio 2x2 until it was no longer Mac-supported. I grabbed a cheap behringer UMC 204 which served me well for a year or so, but I am excited about being able to have extra ins that will allow me to expand my process. My application is basically recording my Laurin mesh-head digital drumkit (made in Quebec) with live cymbals, and for tracking vocals. I use Logic and Superior Drummer 3 to write and record.
It's sorta limiting to have 4 simultaneous tracks only, as Ideally, I'd like to be able to have stereo OH tracks, stereo toms and separate kick and snare, but I'll figure out something. Any feedback on how to maximize this mixer/interface's potential is appreciated.
Cheers
O

    UPDATE:
    I ditched the ZED and went with a rack mount interface from Tascam called a 1608. EIGHT outs for 400 bucks??? yeah Ill take it!!!
    It was literally plug and play.

    So did you ever get the Zedi10 before going to the 1608? I have a Zedi10fx and think it does great, never had a problem, though the 8 outs does sound nice.

    @Jwal nah man, I couldnt do a thing with it... I drove tech support bananas in two countries...returned it for the 1608...sadly, they wont support Mac after Big Sur. But the preamps are great, even with budget condensers like Apex 435's...
