Just my opinion but I have the ART MPA Gold and the TPSII in my B Studio and personally I think the TPSII (170 dollars) sounds better. I bought the MPA after I had been impressed (for the cost) with the TPS. I thought it sounded pretty harsh on the high mids, plus the left channel is kinda glichy. Probably just mine but...whatever.

My $.02, try looking at the Focusrite TwinTrakPro. I know it isn't tube but I use it at home and I'm pretty pleased. The compressor on it sucks and a lot of the features are useless but I think the pres are pretty nice. That price range for pres is kinda tricky. Seems like stuff jumps from $200 up to $1500 real fast with not much in between.
