Well partially I was thinking that most of us with pro-sumer level audio interfaces wouldn't get the same high quality output that a dedicated machine might get. I could be totally wrong though, which is why I asked. If you're truely saying that for the price of a laptop (to use me as an example) ($1400), audio interface ($200) and Reaktor software ($300) I'd get something on par with an Exclipse, well then I'd be shaking in my boots if I was a hardware manufacture.
