I think you might be mistaken about the multimix

Sorry yes after downloading the manual of the firewire multimix 12 it seams that you can record all the chanels at the same time? the usb version doesnt though. You have to go careful on the Alesis website because at no point does it say that all tracks are sent to the computer and on most mixers only the sterio is sent. I had to download the manual to find out.
it does look like the multimix 12 is discontinued though, or at least in the uk.
alesis seam to discontinue anything in the mid range if it starts out selling the top range model, they did it with the iO|14 which was a bargain.
The best price i could find that had one was £259 and for this price i would go for something that had more xlr inputs but its still a nice bit of kit.
I just had a chat with a guy thats got the M-audio fast track ultra 8r and hes going to bring it round so i can try it :O)
hes said its records 8 xlr mic channels at 24bit 96khz all at the same time with no problems. sounds like its the product i want.
