It would make sense for them to integrate Thunderbolt directly into the Symphony chassis- certainly would make it better for mobile recording rather than the existing setup needing the Thunderbridge box.
I'm just playing the waiting game right now- I bought my Rosetta's 2 weeks before they made then EOL so don't want to get caught out again.
That said, the Rosetta's sound great.
Never heard the Apollo but they hold their own against the Symphony hardware.
I agree with the Thunderbolt, firewire 800 is a hazard, I feel like on video shoots I need to duct tape the thing in, 400 was ok.
The Rosettas have held there own for as many years as they have been out, you just need a great clock with them. After the Symphony gets semi outdated I am sure I will get one, they will be cheap by then.
I am the type guy that does not need the latest tool on the market, sometimes I think my X series are a little to clean even at 44.1, that clock really makes a difference for sure.
But I do love my HEDD 192 for mixdown/mastering, by far a great investment, picked up one used for 2k, it's worth every dime and the knobs are the spice on the pie when needed.
