The Alesis stuff is damn good but to be fair most stuff is these days. If you dont want something brand spanking new have a look on Ebay for some of the old MTR mixers as they have miles of head room and sound really really clean. you get a lot more options with those sort of desks as most of them were designed to be used with tape machines and so you get all the options of a much bigger desk that you just dont get on anything in the smaller mixer range these days, things such as mix b(tape returns) as well as direct outs and insert points and you usually get 2 or 3 aux busses as well. You may not need all of that right now but it could come in handy later on. I dont know how much they fetch at the mo but its always worth a look.
I've used the MTR 12-8-2 and that sounded nice a clean and had plenty of options, just have to find one.
