A four channel API 3124 ($2400) will be less expensive than buying 4 - 512c cards ($675 each) and a lunch box ($425). A no-brainer.

When you figure, though, that most places are offering a free Lunchbox when you buy 4 512's (or four or any API modules) then the price difference is much smaller...and when you figure in that with the lunchbox you have the option of adding two more modules I'd say it's not a "no-brainer".

I don't want to drop 500-600 bucks to get a new pre that has the only the most subtle color differences from another in that range. Differences that probably won't even be noticed or appreciated by anyone else's ears. Will these color differences make or break a recording?

If your choice or preamp alone makes or breaks a recording then something else is wrong. But that doesn't mean that the differences are necessarily subtle, or that good preamps aren't a worthwhile investment.
