don't get the behringer tube products. they aren't worth it. the solid state stuff is fine, but their tube stuff is terrible (i had a tube preamp of theirs for a while, can't remember the model but it was one of the rack mount ones). the tube is more for show than anything - they still use solid state through most of the circuit anyway. the tubes are also starved of power from memory and distort very nastily, i think anyway - for all i know it was the opamps distorting anyway - it didn't sound at all like 'tube distortion'.
<br><br>if you can afford the extra cost of the focusrite then don't even hesitate to choose the cheaper behringer over it. don't get me wrong, i actually like behringer overall, but they are no match for the focusrite pres. i have a behringer ada8000 connected to an RME9636 hammerfall, and i just got a focusrite pro26io. the focusrite pres were a league above the behringers. the ada8000 is still more than adequate though, and i'll still use it, but the focusrite is worth the difference.
