Bassist thinking about switching to QC

I'm thinking about making a jump to QC. I don't really have any experience with modelling, so I guess I'm looking for some reassurance before I drop the coin on one of these.

My current rig is;

Spector NS-2/NS-5 -> Shure wireless -> B7K -> BDDI -> SVT-CL/810E or SVT 3 Pro/212AV

The BDDI splits to FOH and stage amp, and the cab is normally mic'd and blended with the BDDI at FOH. I monitor through IEMs.

The whole reason I'm looking at one of these is I'd like to get more into Tool/Muse territory without the massive pedalboard or the tap dancing. I'm not really looking to replace the amp as I still plan on running a backline to fill out the stage, however I would want it to replicate what I'm doing with the BDDI.

Am I correct in assuming that I can run 3 separate outputs to FOH? As in, could I split the signal into clean DI, overdriven SVT, and distortion paths with separate processing on each, and send those 3 outputs to FOH separately?

Alternatively, can I merge them back together and send through a single output if the soundboard has limited inputs?

Beyond that, if any bassists have any points, tips, things they wish they knew, whatever, I'm all ears and will take any advice I can get.

Cheers!
