I'm not trying to get something necessarily for $300. That's just what the Mackie is going for. I'm willing to spend about 3x that. Still not high budget, I know. And I don't need 32 channels....12 would be enough.
How much of a mixer do you need? How are you planning to use it? As I
said, the Mackie 8-bus is really designed for multitrack studio use, and
that's a hard thing to find these days since the majority of people
recording are doing everything in a computer that traditionally was done
in a mixer and aren't using a mixer for anything but mic preamps and a
monitor controller.
You might look around for one of the Allen & Heath Mix Wizard models or
a small Crest if you only need mic preamps and maybe want to sum a few
mics on the way to the computer. I don't know how much better (if at
all) it would be than the Mackie, but you might feel better not getting
a Mackie.
