The gripe with Behringer's cloning isn't simply "this isn't the original", but that they are a predatory company. Instead of paying for R&D, they pay for lawyers. Quite literally. As soon as a patent expires, Behringer issues their clone and actually has the nerve to re-copyright the name/logo to prevent other companies from cloning. And they sue people for calling them out on it. They've also cloned in-production gear from smaller companies who don't have the resources to take on Behringer in court (Ebtech, for example). Behringer literally tried to sue Dave Smith Instruments for calling them out for cloning. I have a bunch of Behringer clones to be honest. But I'm not proud of it. So yeah sure, i want it too. Not proud of it. But I buy ton of gear from the OG's to make up for it. Frankly, even the new Behringer stuffs build quality is pretty shit. I always tell people that they'll get more productivity and better results from Elektron gear. Behringer is just capatalizing on a legacy that isn't theirs with little to no innovation. Of course, once they start rolling out their poly's I'm sure I'll bite because I just won't be able to resist that pro 800 (I've got my legit Moogs, Dave Smiths, Rolands and Korgs to justify it).
