Does anyone have any opinions on using such products?

Background :
We're an a capella band with 6 live handheld mic's on stage, and not enough money for in ear monitors. i'm currently notching out frequencies during sound checks. but i must just suck, casue i inevitably miss frequencies that ring at performance time.

my main questions are :
1) Speed/effectiveness - are they quick enough to squash feedback before it screeches? is it smart, fast, and dynamic enough to deal with 6 choreographed people?

2) transparancy - will it notch out to the point of colouring the sound? even manually, i've been guilty of ... overambitious notching ... to try and kill that ever embarrasing feedback.

any feedback you have would be great. (PUN!!!)

Our band tried a feedback eliminator for a while. I think it could notch out 10 or 12 feedback frequencies. When a new frequency would start feeding back it would release an old freq and notch out the new one.

It created more feedback problems than we originally had so we gave up on it. I don't recall the make/model though.
