Terms like DL killer isn't very useful. Since when is a "new" product from anyone a killer of a good functional product you already own? As far as a race to version 2 of anything. I've been watching Apple/Microsoft doing that since 1984. They both had their own approach and over the years I'd say that both did some serious good, but in very different ways. MS had their first multi-tasking OS with Windows 95. Apple had their first one with OS-X in 2002(?) Yet you could do what you needed done with either one during all those years. (Multi-tasking was a mainframe necessity but not a desktop necessity. Now we have that on our cell phones.) As far as Behringer goes, I hope for their serious improvement. Pricewise they've been good, but inexpensive and cheaply made isn't good. Mackie has had their times of getting close to cheaply made, but I'm hoping those days are gone. I had a CFX-12 Mackie in the past. Aux 1 went out and it didn't seem worth fixing. I had bought a MixWiz about that time and it has been totally solid. No hiccups, no problems whatsoever. Thats quality and a great price and the direction I'd like to see all manufacturers go. As far as a race goes, I only pay attention when I'm making a change and I don't see myself purchasing a new mixer now for at least 8 years. I am keeping my eyes open for MFver2. That we can all use if it's working well. (And thanks for not putting it out before it's ready. We've all seen too much software released that wasn't ready.)
