Steve, I am using the Alesis 6FX and it works really well ...
I played a gig where all the A-V stuff was supplied by the hotel (of course I had mine in the car just in case) ... they gave me the Mackie 1202 and a couple of EON 15's ... really nice ... the Mackie is a real nice mixer, but obviously quite diffent in price ...
good luck with whichever ...
