I agree techno. For the money it does a great job. I just wanted to point out what the differences are so that the poster can make an informed decision. The Behringer does have some serious issues with updating etc... as well. An update has to be done in EXACTLY the order and way that they say or it renders the USB useless until the unit is actually sent in to Behringer. Also to get the Behri set up in a way that is very useful it is MUCH more complicated than the Mackie. If however you are accepting of these limitations and workload, then the Behringer is a good bargain. If you want to be able to plug it in and learn it quickly and easily, nothing comes close to the Mackie. The next easiest I have seen is also what I consider to be the best yet, the Yamaha O1V. Once the yamah is set up to talk to your DAW app (which is not always too easy) it is simple as anything. Select a hannel on the yamaha and it selects in your DAW, use the EQ on that channel and it does, aux sends, even plugins. It also gives enough visual feedback to make it easy as pie
