If you're trying to upgrade, you might want to look at the DMP-3 instead of the audiobuddy.... I wouldn't think an audiobuddy would be that much better than the pre's on a behringer mixer. Probably a little bit better, but not enough to justify "upgrading". I hear good things about the DMP-3, it's a little bit more, but people seem to like it a lot better than the audiobuddy, and I've heard some pretty nice sounding clips from it.
