Hate to add to your mind-boggling (no, really I don't) but you might also want to consider a Presonus AR12 USB. Very nice with excellent software. The Bose T4s and T8s are also often omitted when one searches "mixers" at major retailers, though I don't think they offer live recording.
Full disclosure: I have/use a QSC TM16 but would happily downgrade to a TM8 (the 16 is "left over" from doing live sound for others...it's way overkill for my own shows). Love the tiny size, the scene recall, the easy included networking that actually works without adding a router, the remote iPad mixing capability (though that may not be as important if you're mixing from the stage) and that I can just plug in a small USB-powered external SSD drive to record rather than hauling my MacBook to shows.
But I may be just a teensy bit biased...
