i am going to buy one.
i have an Mbox2 and this exchange offer is too good to resist:

i can trade in my Mbox2 and get the 003R WITH the Music Production Toolkit for retail $1,145 USD which i imagine from a dealer will only be about $1,050 USD.
to me that is a good deal.
i am not expecting it to be a unit with great preamps (i have outboard for that).
so shoot me.
i'll let you guys know how much it sucks when i get it in a few weeks.
cheers.
