    Ah, you'll love it. I got my 1200 mk2s a looooong time ago (only cost me 350 for the pair as the shop was trying to get rid of them.) never had a days problem with them in all those years. You should be good to go.

    300 doesn't sound like a bad deal. Ask if there are any known issues.

    If the MK5 works out, it's a prime set up for any DVS. Some may argue that you should get a different mixer with a built-in sound card. Ignore them.

    Yeah I ended up getting both of them. The mk5 works just need to swap out my audiophile for a m447 I believe.
