Yes, that is funny. Most companies that make mixers don't have nearly as
many products in their mixer line as Behringer does. I guess that the
way they build 'em, it's not difficult to punch a couple more holes in
the chassis, stick in an FX chip, and charge a little more than the same
design without FX. They go the other way, too, putting the same X-32
mixer guts in several different packages differing only by the number
and type of input and output connectors, number of knobs, and display.
It's a good approach to being able to satisfy a wide range of customers
without having a large number of individual designs.

Bingo. Some of the companies doing this sort of thing (and I don't know if
Behringer is in that category) sell multiple products with different feature
sets and sometimes even totally different functions, which mostly differ in
software. Swap out the ROM, and your equalizer turns into a compressor....
