Soundcraft have two new mixers called Compact4 and Compact10.
http://www.soundcraft.com/product_sheet.asp?product_id=121

The 4 has 2 mic ins and 2 stereo line ins, while the 10 has 4 mic an 6 
line. IMO they are much better than the behringer in design, features, 
flexibility and build quality. The channels have a record enable button 
so you don't accidentally record unwanted channels (or noise). Separate 
mix and monitor and record outs. Separate artist and engineer headphone 
outs. And much better mic pres. Well worth the few extra bucks. ($149 
for Compact4, $249 for Compact10 at one place I checked)

I have the Compact4 and Audiophile 2496 and  can highly recommend.
