bro. may difference pa rin if headroom & reliability measurement. I tend to disagree.
If i ask ano mas maganda tunog.... mejo may point ka. Pero criteria of Headroom & reliability... ramdam ang difference.

I have Peavey & Behringer Mixer. Ang layo ng Behringer sa ganda ng headroom ng Peavey.
Reliability Peavey rin is good... consistent... di pa ko tinirik kung baga sa Auto, bumigay na one time behringer ko.

Now, i need to buy 32 channel mixer. I am considering either soundcraft or  allen & heath.
Kaya i need inputs..  kasi di pa ko nakagamit neither of the two

sir i mean hi-end boards

if you are referring between Allen or Soundcraft siguro mas ok Soundcraft. mas durable sa functions naman nya di rin naman magpapaiwan basta-basta. Allen naman parang behringer daming feature pero kung sa patibayan siguro maiiwan sya sya soundcraft.

ako kasi mackie user e, pero at the end of the day ikaw din makakapagsabi kung anong board mas ok sayo :)

in my experience, i will go for soundcraft.
A&H> sirain... i think, mga 6 times na yata ako nag repair ng A&H. and mahina ang aux nya... unlike souncraft, ganda ng headroom, matibay kahit pang touring mode. line and aux ay balanse..
soundcraft for me..

i have a soundcraft 24 & 16channels live 4, mataas nga ang headroom, but a week ago, nakabili ako ng Mackie SR 40.8 na Mackie  US made, Nagulat ako mas mataas ang headroom nya kesa sa Soundcraft ko na live series,

Soundcraft pa rin... Pareho warm ang tunog. Pero there are some points na lamang ang a&h. if you would try to compare it lalo na pag gusto mo palabasin tunog ng kick and snare for low to mid-end na speaker systems.  Pero sa tibay Soundcraft is still ok over a&h. I also tried ung mix wizard 3 na A&h ok din for low budget console. Pero kung may budget din naman kahit papano go for GB4 or GB8 ng Soundcraft.
