Best 24:8 analog mixer to buy?

[Fernando Sampaio]

hi, I have to decide in the next 2 weeks...which mixer to buy?, here are my alternatives:
- Soundtracs Topaz Project8 (thinking 2nd hand)
- Studiomaster Mixdown 8
- Spirit studio 24
- Behringer MX8000A

I only have 1000 UKP to spend and the Mackie 24:8 is too expensive (current price is 1899 UKP...). I really like the Studiomaster and can get one 2nd hand for 600...the behringer NEW is around 900 but I`ve been told the quality is nothing compared with the other alternatives.
Please let me know what you think.
Cheers

Fernando

somebody told me that the Studiomaster has a `fatter` sound...I think I`m going to get this...after all, it`s cheaper as well...
