Thanks for your interest in the H9000. If your main intention for the H9000 is for live use and you do not want to always have a laptop connected, then I would suggest the standard H9000 with the front panel/screen. Emote is great for configuring your routing and settings, but you can always use Emote to setup some basic Sessions and tweak them further using the front panel.
It’s also worth noting that this thread is quite old, and many updates to Emote and the H9000 have been released since it was started.
