Lets talk high end studios for the Noob..

Jarkko, thanks for the info. I really only came across those desks through Thomann. Known them for some time and as they didn't seem to be dirt cheap but also not too expensive I thought I'd through them up for discussion.
 
I was looking in the SSL Matrix pretty hardcore when it first came out.. It definately had some nifty features..

Personally, I'd say go Euphonix.. with the argosy console and a few 8-fader modules you'll have a good looking mix-area..
