But you bust a very low budget doing so.

Reliably fallible.

You won't get a 26c for under £100 but you can just get a 24c.

That's true. Just so many of these small interfaces it's hard to keep track of what's out there.

The metering is definitely better on the 24c than either the Behringer or the smaller Presonus and it still has the hardware MIDI.

Yep, if you want a 5-pin midi socket for less than a ton then it's the 24c or one of the Behringers really.
Or you're looking at something a bit older second hand.

In the audio world more people say bad things about Behringer than any other brand I've ever known (including PreSonus). :)

Up to you, but I'd still buy a Studio 24c or 26c (or a couple of others) rather than the Behringer. Comes with Studio One Artist DAW software, too, in case that's of interest. Oh, and yes, I have used both. Either one should work absolutely fine, though.

Thank you very much for your help. That's exactly what i thought when i jumped from my Behringer to the Presonus. The mistake was all mine, not seeing that it has mic/inst and not mic/line. Your suggestion has a big plus knowing that you have used this presonus. They Studio 24c is in my list! I hope i can find it lower than 150e (125e+shipping)

I really hope so. The price in Thomann is great but adding the shipping cost the price goes to 150e. Same price in my local stores.
