I set it up with my ufx and total mix so far.. one snapshot route through my piano and synths through the pm400 and another snapshot routes the piano and synths through my ssl6 and warm amps and compressors... honestly I'm blown away by the pm430. It really sounds pretty good darn good.
As far as not being a "pro" and having a bunch of outboard.. my stance is, the outboard is mine, one time purchase. Plugins unfortunately are payed through subscription plans now, so, it really demands an income on your investment for plugins more so than outboard gear. I plan to dabble for a life time, that will cost a fortune in waves sub fees.
