I've got a few bits of Behringer gear and I must say I have no major
complaints. I'm sure higher end stuff would be an improvement theoretically
but for the moment it gives me tools that otherwise I would have to do
without.

My experience is that for now my own techniques and abilities, and the
limitations of the space I record in, are by far the biggest factor when it
comes to issues with the quality of my recordings. I look forward to the day
when I find the Behringer gear I have needs replacing because I can genuinely
say that it is its flaws, not mine, that are the weak link :)

In the few places I have higher end gear (which tends to be my instruments
for the most part), I have it because I found specific areas where I felt I
was being held back, and bought something specifically to address that.
