Here's my opinion:
There is nothing inherently wrong with Behringer mixers. There certainly is an element of "you get what you pay for", but by and larger Behringers mixers do what the need to do.
Issues you may or may not see as a result of manufacturing inconsistencies include:
--a greater likelyhood of general failure (particularly in the extra cheap power supply that comes with the mixer)
--crosstalk in either the Alt bus or in the mains.
--knobs that are easier to break or damage.
A lot of these things are either covered in a warrantee or can be mitigated by handling your mixer with care.
Sonically I have found these mixers to perform as advertised. When I did a direct comparision (single mic soloed to headphones) between a VLZ-Pro and Behringer preamps I noticed that the VLZ-Pro had a warmer/fuller sound while the Behringer pre's were noticably brighter (almost tinny). Both were exceptionally quiet with little inherent noise. Both mixers mic signals' quality were degraded slightly when sent to the bus channels or the mains again with the Behringers there was a slightly more noticable difference.
All this being said I found little "wrong" with the Behringer mixers. There was a subtle audible difference in overall sound quality, but not so much as to label the Behringer as trash outright. In the end I did buy a Mackie board, but that was because I wanted the slightly better audio quality, and I was willing to pay more than double for it.
If you don't have the budget a behringer mixer will do fine, but it certainly won't be "the best"

go back a few posts i mentioned a soundcraft fx 16 take a good look at its specs then take the cash you have resist spending it save some more and go buy it you can then be happy with something that works and the rest of your posts can be a joyous read about how you got a great deal on this little wonder board

As I have stated in a previous post have just sold a Spirit SX and prefer to use my Behringer MX2004. No Diff in sound quality and the Beh. HAS better build quality Metal jacks etc.etc. ( both built in China).
I have just bought one of the Digital Jobies and I am extremely impressed with it so far.

Then you should try eq'ing them separately on the board itself while you are tracking. It takes some getting used to, but after enough experience, it comes natural.
Someone's gotta' have a cheap, used Soundcraft somewhere on ebay. Even if it's an old one, it's gotta' be a quantum leap up from a Behringer. And the eq is quite good, which would come in handy if you should decide to eq everything on the board before it hits your recorder. The B would be iffy for this function, at best.
