Hi all,
At my church we have an aging Mackie board that someone recently decided to twist off many of the fader knobs
The church decided to get a new board, and the sound guy, who is quite set in his ways and not amenable to anything he hasn't come up with, recommended we get a Behringer Xenyx X2442 UAB, here:

Being somewhat of a Behringer snob, I recommended against it due to several pointed reviews on this unit, as well as Behringer in general. I recommended a Soundcraft:
https://www.harmanaudio.com/soundcraft/Signature+12.html?cgid=soundcraft&dwvar_Signature%2012_color=Dark%20Blue-GLOBAL-Current#start=1
I'm wondering if you have any experience with either of these boards, or have another recommendation on a decent board that will last a few (like 10+) years at a church. We don't need a ton of inputs, but (to me) quality and reliability are key.
The sound guy likes the lights on the Behringer, and how it exactly fits into a special box in the sound room. I like the high quality preamps and effects of the Soundcraft, as well as the overall excellent reputation.
Thanks,
Mike
