The pro amps also have fans, which can by noisy unless you are willing to open the case and replace them with something quiteter. The Behringer EP2500 is a steal even in the pro-amp catagory.

There is also the purdy factor. Not everyone goes for the industrial look.

To me its like driving an econobox vs a (insert your favourite stylish vehicle here). They both do their job of transporting you just fine.
