From SSL Website :

SuperAnalogueT Console
<SNIP>
Signal routing, inputs/outputs, monitoring and signal processing are all
permanently available on the console. Top quality motorised faders provide
conventional audio level control as well as controlling the recording and
replay levels in your DAW.
<SNIP>
High quality motorised faders to write/replay level moves in your DAW
<SNIP>

Maybe they missed it in the review, but it seems to have motorised /
automatable faders.

Probably will get SSL into lots of mid-sized project facilities that would
otherwise not have had one.

Probably sounds similar to a 9000k. Anyone heard one of those?

That's correct. But you also get 24 channels of SSL mic preamp and EQ,
and the famous SSL bus compressor, plus controls for a DAW. Frankly I
think it has limited applications but for those who need 24 mic
inputs, a control surface, and the option of mixing the DAW tracks
through SSL channel strips, I suppose it's a more attractive package
at a more attractive price than buying that many SSL rack modules and
installing them.

That sweetens the pot, but it still uses HUI emulation which is less than
stellar.

Yes. After mixing entirely in a computer the last few years, it was a
refreshing change to put hands on faders & knobs again with a 9000 recently.
Damn convenient having a compressor on every channel.
