is that really a big selling point for you? for daw work, don't most folks just use the mixer in their host app anyway? personally, that's what i've always done...

fwiw, two things that turned me off about the saffire are 1) you can't use the dsp plugs from within your sequencer (they have to be routed in from the mixer software) and 2) i didn't think the plugs were all that great. decent, but nothing better than a lot of the third party plugs most of us run...

for the same money, the i88x offers SO much more.
