I have both, as well as 1604s and 1644s. The pres are identical - sterile
and a tad muddy when compared to 'fancy' stuff, or even low-end outboard
pres (if you are doing recording work, I'd recomend getting even a low end
out board preamp. Some are better than others though, watch out.), but
plenty good enough for live stuff, especially at the price, and better than
a lot of the other small/mid format mixers. Stay away from any gear that
begins with a Y.)
A word of warning though: I've yet to own a mackie that didn't fail at
least
once. Mixers are injury-prone piece of gear - especially ones that get
carted around a lot. However, their warranties are generous, and their tech
support eager to help, so I keep going back.
You might want to check out the behringer stuff too - it's generally a tad
cheaper, but in the same quality/price bracket.

I have an half-rack, 18 channel (yes, you heard that right - 18 channels,
half rack, 2 subs, pan + volume on first 12 channels) mixer-man mixer that
I
am looking to sell. It's a tad noisy, but you can't get anything else that
size with that many channels - I've used it for all my live gigs. I'm
looking for $200 for it. If anyone is interested, let me know offline.
