What is the difference.. Mackie VLZ series vs Mackie DFX ser

What is the difference.. Mackie VLZ series vs the new Mackie DFX series??

Please help the new Mackie DFX is much cheaper and I don't know why?

I need somthing to have all my eqipment go into..

2 turntables
mixer
MPC 2XL
Dr Sample
fostex 4 track


Whick one should I get

I got the DFX and have used the VLZ.so here's the deal:
the DFX is designed for live use, doesnt mean u cant use it in ur home studio, the VLZ is designed for mixing in a home studio.

VLZ got 3band eq per channel, the DFX got 2
VLZ got better preamps (subjective)
VLZ doesnt have a master eq, DFX got a 5 band master eq
VLZ doesnt have FX, the DFX has a built in FX processor (a cheap one)

both will do the trick for what ur looking for, if money wasnt an issue i would go with the VLZ for 3 band eq per channel. i use mine as a sub-mixer my main board being a VS2400 where eqing and FX are not a problem.

hope this helps
peace
