The big problem is Q and phase issues with a graph and especially on a cheap graph
There are some real trash budget graph EQ's out there

I am amazed you have brightness issues with running a tube pre

I dont know about chucking the Mackies they look like they would
suffice for a budget studio system

I do agree with the other post that a decent stereo four band parametric
is ideal
They sky is the limit on cost for quality

Rane makes a decent parametric that would suffice for you
The advantage of a parametric is being able to control bandwidth
and dial right in on the Freqs causing you issues

You can get some good used "buy it now" gear at this auction site

Obviously, you have never heard or used the Mackies to mix. They are not well respected in the pro studio world, especially since they have been manufactured in China.
