I use ann Mbox2 with my mobile rig... with IT you have SPDIf which means I can get my channel in through my HEDD A/D and it sounds better on the road than a 192... you can't do that with any of the other Mbox's. Also... because it is firewire... the 'Lo latency' option can be toggled (in Pro Tools) which you can not do-the option is then grey'd out- on the others ( USB's much higher latency).... Mbox2 Pro is really like an digi002/3 with fewer ins and outs...
