I just thought I'd throw in my two cents...

I agree with the switched jack concept. No need for a switch or LED 
as you can simply tell by looking. I don't have an issue with either 
OUT1 or OUT2 for "splitting" the mixer, a case could be made for 
either one. Overall, simple and intuitive. That said, switches/LEDs 
are always nice (but more parts = $$).

Reversing attenuators for E & F would be nice! <ugh>
