When I bought my Behr., the GC salesman was trying to discourage me and was promoting the VC3Q, so I was listening to it at the same time, under near A/B conditions.
I don't want to disparage the Meek, but it does have a characteristic sound of its own, and my personal preference is to avoid equipment that has a "sound" in favor of very neutral sounding equipment that captures the sound of the thing you are recording. The Meek sounded good, but it wasn't for me. You may want to go check one out.

Axis,
BTW, how do you A/B the mic pres?
do you use a mic through them and listen to the monitors's output? or do you get them recorded?
Argh, now I am torn between these two.... The Joemeek comes with a pretty good compressor but the MIC2200 has 2 inputs.... hmmm, wish I could test out these two... sigh~

I spoke too soon. The MIC2200 had a defective channel. I now have an Apex 107.

The aphex 107 is a pretty nice mic pre especially for the money.
Once again I'll say, I love my joe meek. I don't use it much on acoustic guitar and other soft quiet stuff but the character it adds to direct bass and rock vocals and the sizzle to louder acoustic guitars is outstanding.
I saw some comments on here about reviews on mackie vlz mic pres and being disapointed and I'd agree. Don't get me wrong. When I need a mixer, I'll get a 1604 vlz and use the pres in it for toms and stuff like that. For a cheap mixer, the mic pres are nice. I just don't think they are as great as the reviews I've read.
BTW, I do love the threads about behringer mixers (not that this is one) It gives all of us who've suffered through a bad behringer purchase a little feeling of sanity
I like my behringer patchbay though!
