Hi, Midas is a great brand and at the high end of mixing consoles. They also run their latest products on a Linux system. Mackie is good for the price. Behringher is cheap but they have a lot of quirks and the sound quality is not very nice. If you've got cash to spend and audio quality is your desire then you can't go wrong with a Midas.
