I was looking at the Fireface 400 (on sunday after reading the press release) just before i purchased the 800 (this week). I was all set on the FF400, until i saw a lilttle cut back on the D-A by a few db. I also noticed THD specs were slightly different, with the FF800 having the slight edge.

Other than that, the fireface 800 just seemed better for me in my studio and the extra I/O's. Plus i can rack it in my standard 19inch rack.

IMO the fireface 400 is a no brainer for the laptop user who needs a bus powered solution, with the RME sound. Plus its portable, light weight, and it still has many of the decent features of the 800, like steady clock.
