Ok, all hijacking aside, here's what I've come up with:

M-Audio ProFire 610
JoeMeek OneQ
Audient Mico
Aphex 230
Aphex 207D
Focusrite Platinum Series... Maybe?

... Maybe I'll give ART another whirl, Digital MPA II??
I don't think you should totally count out the ART Digi MPA. Giving it another shot isn't such a bad idea.

In a similar vein, I got an M-Audio 610 last year that was totally not working right. One of the pres was broken and creating a loud hiss. And I couldn't get the unit to be recognized by the computer. Maybe one out of every 5 boots it would show up. And when it was recognized, it would freeze Pro Tools. Needless to say it went back. I wasn't sure at the time what it was, but I didn't care to mess with it. But just recently, I decided to give the 610 another shot, bought a new one, and I've had no problems (knock on wood).
So, you never know. It's definitely an ideal choice (feature wise) for what you want to do.
