My opinion is that you dont need a desk for now, if you manage to have a pretty good mix with just your cubase when you send it for massterization someone will enhance your sound... i can do almost the same with just my cubase and my own tools, the trick is to learn your tools and take the max from it.... many people lose time buying more gears and forget that people like Mylo has an album just done on reason and some other blokes on Fruity, learn your tools and improve.....
