so then.... how do mackie mixers stack up against behringers?

Rock Steady
back to back is probably the best method, and alternating in layer so the pitch angle is absorbed by the next as they are stacked. I would recommmend keeping the knob sides up.
To me, the new UB1832fx is far quieter than the tascam I was using, has many easy no noise pushbutton routing options. The preamps seem to be very clean with plenty of gain without getting a saturated aura. The semi parametric eq is nice. There may be some colour, although it is transparent enough that my ears don`t recognize it as apparent. I've heard the color vary from soundcraft, mackie, yamaha, to tascam in small mixers. I have friends using the cf, df,(which i dislike much) and vlz mackies at home and I hear or see no appreciable superiority in them over this newer series of Behr as far as noise and color is concerned. Any noise I`ve found was in the sends and returns on the aux's, but using a little common sense in the ratio between them clears that up. The band I'm working with bought the sl3242 for live and it is performing great. I've worked with 2 bands that had the Mackie 24 and one rail of the power supply went out. I did a job with a band using the Mackie Onyx and it was pretty impressive. I have a friend in Tenn. that uses 2 of the Mackie 32/8 buss in his studio, now that is some clean, totally transparent stuff and has never had a problem with them.
So far, I'm a happy camper. But then again I'm not trying to make a living with it or into any kind of name game, or an arms race. 'Just a picker learning to do home recording and having fun.
