Does IC Pro ready to exchange digital mixer?

Hi guys!

I start thinking to use IC pro over console and well I haven’t such experience to mix with console mixers and always make it in DAW but I found that it could optimize my workflow and I could take more attention on musical ideas over driving in workflow. Well and what could you say about usability of IC pro over digital console? If I haven’t addiction to consoles maybe IC pro could be usable thing to mixing and basic setting control such as eq, compressors - that’s what most console do. Generally makes IC Pro some evolution in DAW controlling or it just an option?

Found that interesting product in main page http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/X18.aspx
Seems Steinberg with IC Pro on right way!
