opinions on Behringer mixers ?

[BigLex]

I need a mixer to route my equipment (ASR-10, Roland keyboard, turntables/mixer, computer, VCR, receiver, bass)- I'm thinking about copping the Eurorack MX2004A for $220.. how's the quality and reliability of their products? Theres also the mx1804x for $30 more with DSP effects, but it has 6 less channels. How good are its effects? How's the preamps (I'll probably be using it for recording vocals, drums, and bass).

The brand takes a lot of heat around here for issues that seem to stem from poor quality control. For every complaint you'll find a defender. There's no question that Behringer has sold some fine products at low prices.

The knock on their mixers is usually just circuit noise. How much can you live with? For a few dollars more you could do better. If you insist though, try before you buy.
