I have never heard the Benchmark, but the vast majority of listeners have described it as excellent, including those in the audio press. Some have said it is too detailed or clinical, but I never heard "mid-fi at best". I think your friend who described it as mid-fi either had a problem in his set-up or is in an extreme minority in taste. Of course people can disagree, but there is also the phenomenon of a pretentious critic bucking the majority in an effort at self-aggrandizement. I don't know if this applies here, but in matters of aesthetic taste it is best to have some humility.
