Default entry-level mixer

I am about ready to buy my first live mixer. I've narrowed it down to
Soundcraft MFX20 and Mackie CFX20.

My 2 Questions;

the mackie has a subwoofer output which feeds an amped/powered
subwoofer system
with a 75hz low cut summed-stereo signal. Is there a way to recreate
this behavior on the soundcraft?

Is the only way to solo listen to a channel on the soundcraft to move
my headphone plug?

A distant third is a *Yamaha MG206C-USB, because my associate has a
macbook which we could theoretically use for fx processing. I'm
guessing the latency is unacceptable though.

In general, what does everyone think about these units?

Thanks much

I'd check out the Yamaha LS916 or LS932. The 32 has 32 preamps and 16
XLR outputs and you can carry it under your arm. It has two card slots
that you could configure several ways. Put a mLan16 card in a 01V96
and direct record through the firewire of your computer to any Mac
core audio multitrack application. I own a 01V96 with the mLan card
that also works as the control surface for ProTools.
