newer Urei mixers

anyone know anything about their new line of mixers? Urei has that legendary 1620 with the awesomest sound quality, so i'm guessing their newer stuff should be as good, no?

they look interesting:

1603:

$799

1601:
$799 too

1601s:

looks exactly like the 1601 to me, but seems to have a couple extra buttons, probably FX, and its $949

1605:

and i think for 7 channels, $1199 is a good price

1620LE:

re-design of the old 1620, at $1699, sounds reasonable

so, anyone used any? and can anyone explain the price differences?
opinions? ideas? discuss.

btw, pictures and prices taken from djmart.com

None of those new UREI mixers have ANYTHING in common with the old UREI we know and trust for great sound/built quality (except the 1620LE, which is supposed to be a good reasonable replica of the olf one). Soundcraft bought the name, and is now slapping it onto all sorts of DJ mixers.

Not that theres anything wrong with them....theyre OK gear....but just remember, dont expect anything super-fantastic like the old UREIs

urei is high quality mixers and if you like the layout and stuff, and can afford it, its a very good choice

1601 is a regular 2 channel mixer
1601s is the same mixer but WITH A SAMPLER
1601e is the same mixer but WITH EFFECTS
