Can't say enough about the CP-8, fantastic speaker, very portable, excellent coverage and loud enough. That's one place where I would spend the extra $$s. Buy two, set one behind the band for a monitor and the audience. They are very feedback resistant.
A Behringer mixer would be fine, they have decent preamps. They've copied the best. I'd stay analog to hit your price point, their Behringer Xenyx series gets good reviews.
