Actually, the whole studio is built around the 16-tk 2-inch machine that we have, and our cool vintage (but small-ish) Electrodyne console. I have done some really cool projects with only 16 tracks. Having a DAW with 16 outs would be fine, because we could use more tracks in the box, and submix (I assume) out to stereo pairs on the console when we want to utilize lots of tracks.
