What's your alternatives? I bet there is more finacial risk and more headaches going to a computer based recording setup and at that price range there really isn't a huge difference in the overall quality or richness of features between similarly priced units. It's a pretty competive market with only half a dozen companies with a half dozen models to choose between. Kinda like choosing between economy cars, the Nissan Sentra might have an extra cup holder while the Ford Focus has more room to store your pocket change but they will both get you from point a to point b at about the same time on a tank of gas. One thing that looks real nice to me is the amount of track knobs on the thing. Looks like it would be alot less menu diving compared to similar priced makes and models. The only thing I would want to make sure is if the mics you purchase will work fine with the unit. Pre-amps strong enough to to boost a low output passive mic. Phantom power for condensor mics etc...... This was my big mistake purchasing a $400 audio interface for the computer. The pre-amps are not strong enough to boost my SM 57 and 58, one size does not necessarily fit all. I'd say go for it but you want a guarentee from the salesman the mics will be fine.
