and now for a different opinion......too large? The Scorpion might be the smallest modular console available during the 80's/90's. I spent over one year looking for a 16x8 Scorpion in really nice shape before I purchased my current console. IMHO, the biggest problem with the Scorpion is that it has been unfairly compared to the full price consoles sold by AMEK. No, a Scorpion can't compare to a Rembrandt, or even an Angela, but it is a solid, well built little professional console. And with excellent condition models now selling as low as $1500 (!!!), its hard to go wrong. Just be selective and be sure to get a nice one; its a total "Buyers Market" out there, so take advantage of it.
digital? I'm still not sure about transistors....

A fair assessment and you are veryy correct that it is a buyers market. I purchased a 24 channel TAC scorpion for $800 in good shape and used it to rebuild another that was at the university I worked at a few years back. I do think that my Soundcraft ghost is a better board- quieter mic pre, more usable EQ imo. I do think its cool that we can get a board as good as any of these for such a little sum of $$. In any case, I agree with your assessment that if anyone does buy a board like the scorpion right now, they should look for a one in GREAT shape.
