Why is it that every time someone asked a question about something he wants to buy, someone tries to talk him into buying something else. Many love the Focusrite sound as well.
Maybe I thought I was being useful. Sorry if I wasn't.

We don't want big and huge from a pre many times.
True.

If we want that, we can dial it in with the EQ and compressors we have.
I find that approach doesn't work. I'd much rather start with a big signal and chop it down to size if need be. Trying to make something small sound big... well, never seen a lot of luck with that.

By all means, if you like the Red sound go for it. It's not a bad preamp. There are a few things I like 'em on, but not enough to justify the price. Plus there are always a few things I like better.
