I really like my Firestudio, I won it in a competition (with MSR) that was in Computer Music. I luv the sound quality from it and when it works its the mutz nutz!! Nice usable GUI, stable build, good manual, BUT, the drivers are driving me MAD (pardon the pun), it seems that Presonus are having a hard time creating stable working drivers for it. I would definatly recommend reading up on which ever Presonus bit of hardware your planning to buy to see if there will be any hardware or driver conflicts with the hardware on your own machine.
