Yes the III can do many more
That is not actually true. While the board itself can handle 8 universes, you can add on NSP's to get just as many as the III can. I did a show once where we had four consoles in a multiuser environment running 30 universes of DMX. All on GrandMA. The NSPs do exactly what the DP2000s do. In fact, once you get above a certain channel count, the board does no DMX processing, and the NSPs handle it all.
