The raging debates you sometimes see about this relate to a TDM system vs. some other, high-end native system. Almost everyone would agree that Pro Tools LE cannot have a mix engine in the same league with Pro Tools HD. There is no real controversy about it.

No arguments there. The mix engines are not even in the same league. This topic has been beat to death on here so it's amazing that there are still those that fight against it. Recording is one thing. Mixing is a whole other ballgame.
For mixing...LE can only compensate up to 1024 samples of delay. Where as HD can compensate for up to 8000+ for RTAS and an additional 4000+ on the TDM side. Yeah, I would call that overwhelming.
To put the thread back on topic....there are much better converters into pro tools other than the Digi I/O. Mytek being one of many great options. I've always like Apogee but there are lots of great converters out there. Using the search should bring up a ton of threads on this topic.
