If your budget can be stretched up to about 1500 or so, I'd really recommend the Ashly Protéa 4.24G because it'll let you eq/limit your mains plus two channels of monitor as well. I use one on a regular basis in a venue a little bit larger than yours (400 person cap.) and the only complaint that I have against it is that the damn screen is too bright. Nothing a bit of blue LX gel doesn't fix, but ouch on the retinas.
It sounds great, and I really like that I can restore the room preset with a single button push after a road FOH has messed around with it.
If your budget is pretty much fixed, you could do a lot worse than the DBX driverack mentioned earlier. Another venue I work in has one (Driverack PX) and I can't complain about how it sounds. the interface is more fiddly than the Ashly in use and the display is tiny, but if "set and forget" is what you are looking for it shouldn't present too much of a problem. It also has a neat room analysis function built in which may interest you.
