maybe the ECH81 isn`t the best mixer front end to use?

The ECH81 is generally reckoned to be a very good frequency changer. It is more than adequate for normal broadcast receivers.
If you are suffering from low sensitivity, then you may need to re-check the alignment and tracking of antenna and local oscillator circuits. Good tracking is important, but quite hard to achieve without a lot of calculations.
