Suggestions/Tips for MIDI Interface and setup - to track mpc2kxl to DP5

Hey,

I'm just wondering if anyone has suggestions for a fairly basic midi interface to go with my current setup.

I just copped the metric halo mobile i/o 2882, to track from my mpc 2kxl and yamaha s90 to the computer, and it doesn't have 1X1 midi (like alot of firewire interfaces do), so I'm looking for a midi interface.

Right now I use one of those little m-audo/midiman uno 1X1 USB interfaces to connect MPC to comp., but I have a feeling this thing isn't that good and introduces a fair bit of latency...

Here's my midi set-up right now

MPC 2KXL

Out A -> Yamaha S90
Out B -> Macbook Pro (w/ DP5)

Yamaha S90

Out 1 -> MPC 2kxl In A
Thru -> Yamaha DX7 in

Macbook Pro

Out 1 -> MPC 2kxl In B

Right now I use the MPC as the master MTC clock with Reason and DP5 (via out B).

Is there a better way I could configure this if I had a MIDI interface with more I/O connected to my comp? Any reccomendations for a solid interface with low-latency or should I keep on using the 1X1 M-audio UNO?

Thanks for the help..
