Hey Krispen, What factor was it that made you choose the Fireface 400 over the MOTU Ultralite? Just curious. I've been saving up for the MOTU (somewhat less money, and if I run into problems or need advice Kaiser can always help me since that's what he uses). Is there a compelling reason I should maybe be thinking about something else?
