No need for Pro Tools, all you'll need is .Wav files to send off to the engineer, and any program will get you there. Also, I honestly dont think you'd be too happy with the pres on the Mbox.

I say buy a used Apogee mini-me USB (good stereo preamp AND A/D) for about $600,
Buy a used NTK for about $300, and spend $100 building a half-ass vocal booth. If you have a little extra to spend, get some sony MDR-7506 headphones

I think that setup would be the most quality for the buck, and would be future proof for upgrading.
