I was eyeing up the Presonus Firebox, but went for the Native Instruments Audio Kontrol USB 2.0 box instead, purely for compatability's sake. After a much needed driver update, I've gotta say it works well, and doesn't require a wall-wart so is much more portable. One to think about, it's at about £160 now I think, and sounds very good.

I've been eyeing that or the Pro 10 for myself, have heard nothing but good things about them.
