Frank, I previously owned 3 or 4 Mackies, and now own 2 Behringers. I've never had a minute's trouble with the Behringers. I had trouble with every one of the Mackies, including dirty, scratchy pots (despite their advertising touting the sealed pots).
That's must my own personal experience.
The new Behringers supposedly have a new effects processor and "British e.q.".
Can't beat the price.
