Really, just 8 channels with the MCU? Doesn't it have pages to flip through?

Yes it pages, but the protocol itself will only allow 8 strips per device meaning that if you want a 16 strip surface it requires 2 midi ports.

I finally found the url I was looking for:
http://manual.ardour.org/using-control-surfaces/midi-binding-maps/

Generic midi is not mcp.

Oh! The MCU (Pro) isn't there at all. Does it only work with the Mackie Control
Protocol?
I have a Behringer BCF 2000, but I was looking for a device with more features
and higher quality (the motor-faders are quite loud).
Does anyone has experiences with another device?

try looking at:
http://manual.ardour.org/using-control-surfaces/devices-using-mackielogic-control-protocol/behringer-devices-in-mackielogic-control-mode/
For mackie compatable devcies in general:
http://manual.ardour.org/using-control-surfaces/devices-using-mackielogic-control-protocol/

There are a number of devices that do mcp. The latest is the x-touch (not the compact or mini... though the compact is better than the BCF2k) There are also the SSL Nucleus, faderport (Ardour has a mode just for this), Qcon, Avid S3 (in Mackie mode). There are also some mixers that will act like mackie controls on their own or with middleware.

For any MIDI control surface, using MCP in Ardour if the surface supports it, will give the better experience than generic midi will.
