Yes, although the Xenyx are the latest desks (and grey!). I'm replacing my Xenyx (which I use for smaller gigs) with a Soundcraft EFX8 or MFX8 - anyone know the differences? looks like the MFX is lmerely an EFX with an extre AUX send and 2 extra main buses, evrything else looks the same(?) I also use an Allen & Heath 16 channel desk which is much more fully featured for bigger PA gigs. fWhich reminds me that Allen & Heath have brought out the ZED range of smaller desks, which have had good reviews.

Yes, earlier Behringer designs tended to sound terrible. I use the MX2642A in silver livery, though, and this one sounds very good. Not as good as a Mackie 1604VLZ but still very well usable. The earlier models (which came in dark-blue or grey livery) sounded terrible (I went through several of them). I guess Behringer is still the best "bang for the buck" ratio, unfortunately, especially when your budget is tight.
