Club I occasionally mix in just yanked out their crusty old Yamaha with dead channels and dirty pots and replaced it with an Allen Heath GL2200. MAN! That sucker's sweet. Routing, EQ, Mic Pres -- nice..
One of the things that's happened with the mixer market is with Mackie dominating so much of it, Behringer's tagging along as the lower-priced option, and that's about all you see in the shops and catalogs. But, you get what you pay for. Don't sell the British desks short.

I've got a Behringer mx3282A (had a mx2004 before that), and I think it gives much value for money. I'm just a hobbyist, I can't justify to pay twice as much for a 'high qualirty' mixer with basically the same options.
I have to admit though that recently it broke down on me (but was fixed under warranty). I think it was the same problem Kilo mentioned - all solo led (or gain ? at least red ones) were lit and it didn't do shit anymore apart from buzzing.
Don't know about the eq's (haven't used other mixers for a long enough time to be able to compare), but as far as noise is concerned there's nothing to worry about.

and it rocks. a little noisier than the mackies i've used (or it was...
i upgraded the op amps and now it is very quiet) but the EQ
is a good bit better.
i used to do live sound for my church
for a couple years, and i used the EQ to separate the singers,
and i never liked what the EQ did to them...the mix would
be better but doing similar things on my studiomaster doesn't
mangle the sound quite as much....

i've got old recordings done on old AHB's... they are so full... the series 3 studiomasters are the nuts.. some Hill mixers are good.. and of course ALICE... soundcraft old 12 & 16 into 2's or 16-8's are wicked... TAC (total Audio Concepts).. are good too (French arent they?? where do i get that idea from?? the name doesnt sound french)... I mean Mackie are good.. but people tend to ignore older mixers.. which is a BIG mistake.. especially as they are so cheap...
studiomaster, Allen & Heath (AHB), ALICE, Soundcraft.. they rule.. Soundtracks were nice too
