Hey Buzap,

I'm sorry I can't comment on the Ultralite (the only thing I know about 
MOTU is that I'm pissed at them for currently not manufacturing their MIDI 
Express XT).

Regarding RME (I have two of their interfaces myself): The beautiful thing 
about their stuff is that these are basically no-brainer designs: the 
interfaces work (as opposed to, say, Presonus, which create problems with 
Hitachi Firewire chipsets), the drivers work (as opposed to TC 
Electronic), drivers are readily available for 64-bit Windows, also for 
their older interface designs (which for those who need it really creates 
some unique customer value), and the audio quality is always ok. Btw, 
they're the only interfaces which pass the so-called Kaisertest (a test 
for audio interfaces which among other things focuses a lot on crosstalk).

Summarizing: the RME will always work. Other interfaces may be cheaper, 
but then they may not work properly.
