I have its little brother, the Q802USB. I bought it because I have a gig coming up and I need to supply my own sound. In testing I've been very happy with it, as it's done everything I've expected, including two-channel USB recording.

Behringer has gotten better with their quality in the last few years. For the money, you probably can't do any better, but I'd put more $$ into it and look at Allen + Heath or Soundcraft these days.
If you do want to use this also as an audio interface (USB to computer) be aware that the audio level via USB is controlled by the main volume faders on the mixer, and the converters (16 bit only) can get pretty noisy.

I've used this mixer for a few years in our church and it's fine. It does the job, there is nothing wrong with it if you're happy with the features it has.
If you don't mind spending a little more you could have a look at Soundcraft mixers which have generally more favourable reviews.
