My humble opinion:

The "Mackie Onyx16" is a well thought Hybrid-Mixer for Live-Mix, Live-Recording or Home-Studio use. By parameters and price it's very similar to "Presonus StudioLive AR16c".

What I'm missing is USB-Returns for each channel. So you are sending through USB Post-Processing and -Fader to your computer. This is practical if you want to send the mix nearly ready to your Software and just mastering there.

What's a gimmick but nearly without practical use is the Bluethooth.

Same for SD-Recording function. It's a gimmick to have, but not really necessary. Main practical user here is Live-Recording without any computer.
