Yes, I'm happy with the KX1200 except:

a) it's big and heavy (it's over the limit Parcelforce will take as a
single item, which suggests it's probably over the health and safety
threshold for lifting heavy items),
b) I just had to repair it
<http://www.johnallsopp.co.uk/blog200605.php4#behringer> (cue everyone
baying "Behringers are unreliable")
c) compared to a PA stack it's really not got a huge range, but that's
obvious, and finally
d) I've really nothing else to compare it to, so I'm no expert.

But in my heart and soul, I'm glad I bought it rather than the Peavey.

And yes, I don't know whether it's true but it would seem to be common
sense that the fewer jobs a speaker has to do the less confused it
becomes. Our vocalist and bass player go through the same amp and,
well, we can hear them.

Cheers
