Welcome to the Digi philosophy. Are you associated? This is simply dishonest to my customers, I refuse to do that.

What's dishonest about that? Isn't it standard business practice to charge your customers more if you have more expensive equipment? When you get an MRI doesn't the biggest chunk of your money go to pay that expensive machine off? I know when they ran a diagnostic on my Jeep a few years back that was the case for the machine that they used. If your business can't support an expensive investment is that really a reason to get upset at the manufacturer of the equipment?

Anyone using a 1010 ? What ? it's still in product list ? With support for 64 bit systems ?
This is where I am getting at. M-Audio is part o AVID and they fully support a PCI system. Protools without a hasle. Why ditch the 001 ?

Because the 001 was discontinued years ago, whereas the Delta 1010 is still in production. As a company, how much sense would it make to continue to support a product that not only has been discontinued for years, but isn't even compatible with any Apple computers (which, as I understand it, still represents about half of their LE customer base) that have come out over the past few years? As a customer, I'm certainly happy to see them dedicate their resources to current and future products rather than further developing a fairly obsolete one.

there isnt 1 thing about the 003r that makes it worth an extra $500 over the 2626. if the 2626 is $700, the 003r need not to be much more IF ANY!!!
the 2626 is actually a better unit.

First off, if you're going to compare apples to apples, you'd need to factor in the Pro Tools software as well, so the difference in price is only $250.
As to whether it's worth the extra $250, for some people it may well be worth the extra money. It you'd need to use the DV Toolkit or DV Translator it probably would be. If you're in a higher-end facility and want to use a Control 24 it would be. If you think it sounds better (which I do) it may be worth it to you. If you need (or want) more mic preamps, or 192 kHz capabilities, or less rack space, or just want to save some extra money then sure, the 2626 may be a better deal for you.
