Thinking about things a little more, it's my opinion that you people like gadgets, and tech stuff in your homes, studio and on the road as well.

One of the gigs just before Christmas gave me the excuse to talk about a bit of kit I've used quite a bit over the last year or so. I already said that I took a PA rig over to Lowestoft and didn't have to use it, as they had one in the venue. Who'd be a soundman?
I did end up using our own monitor system though, as well as our own desk (one we hire from MSL - the company who do all Jools Holland's shows). The desk is a Yamaha M7CL.
