Not enough information. How many inputs do you need? Are you recording one track at a time, or multitracking? Are you married to your Mackie mixer or would you prefer to mix in software? What recording DAW are you using?

Just offhand, I would lose the mixer (noisy), but if you can supply more info you will get better answers. There are a ton of great USB interfaces out there now, for a lot less than RME.
