Yeah, I had forgotten all about that Millenia. It is definately the best choice for that application and price range.
Takeshi, as far as the Focusrite stuff, certain pieces are really awesome, such as the original 110 and the high end blue series stuff. Some of the red range can be OK for certain apps, but it not going to be a clean or high gain (which seems a must for something that can be as quiet as foley work) as the Millenia or other superior pre's for that kind of app.
A lot of people are suggesting things that have no eq, so I guess they did not read your post thoroughly. I think the negatives you read about focusrite tend to result more from their recent tendency to make a lot of low range consumer garbage, I think it fooled some into buying it based on the name, only to find out later that they had been duped, but that is just a guess on my part.
As far as calling millenia to find a dealer who will ship to you, I am sure our brother Nathan would probly be glad to hook you up:
