Subject: Behringer Mixers... A waste of time?

I find myself in need of a mixer.
Behringer's seem nice, and cheap as all hell too. I've heard they get the job done decently, just that they're not too sturdy and sometimes the circuit board will break if too much pressure is put on the knobs... not a problem, since I wont be moving it around much, just a home studio situation.
Anyone had any experience with them? Whats the catch? Why so cheap?
Would I be better off just saving my bills and getting like a Delta 1010 and mixing in my PC?

I've heard that those roland vm mixers are pretty unintuitive to mix on and I've never heard anyone sing their praises.As I have heard a lot of good things about the 01V I'd be more inclined to go with that.I've got a Mackie 24.8 and I'm very happy with it I think it's a bit like familiarity breeding contempt some people could have a Bösendorfer piano and get bored with the sound it doesn't mean it's a bad sounding piano.
I'd be more worried about the reports of Behringer unreliabilty and noisy power supplies having said that I don't know anybody personally who has a Behringer mixer but their rack processors are ok cheap and very usable.

Well, I'm getting a REAL desk in the near-ish future. A Mackie 24/8 or something similar. Ah

would have liked aux sends. and for the FX to be different on the 2 internals (why not?) but
