I've owned a few desks over the years: Mackie 1402, Behringer Eurodesk
8000, Yamaha O1v, Yamaha O2r.

I have to say that the 01v did not sound as good as the analog desks
I've owned.
It is the Mic Pre's and A/D's that let it down, imho. And a lack of
headroom.
Maybe if you pop an AES/EBU card in it and use an external channel strip
with A/D it might improve things but that is a lot of expense for a
cheap desk.

When I moved over to the UK I chose to go back to an analog desk (Mackie
24/8) and haven't had a problem. 
The lack of automation is a it of a pain, but Logic control should fix
that.
FWIW, Mackie 24/8's are *very cheap* at the moment.
We bought ours in loot for £1200, £100 more than the price of a new 01v
without any cards.
I had it cleaned up by a tech for £150 and it is a pearler.

Also, the metering on an O1v used to piss me off.

Also heard quite a bit about digital sync issues with the O1v.
