Pre-Amp Levels: M-Audio Omni IO vs. Focusrite Saffire Pro 14

I've had an M-Audio Delta 66 w/ Omni IO breakout box for around 10 years.
The Omni IO went crap, a couple weeks ago, and I just replaced it with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 14.
I did some recording (AudioTechnica AT4033SE), on the new Saffire, and I had to crank the pre-amp up a lot higher than I did on the Omni.

The last few hours of a mix

This is a spin-off thread from Mixing Grunge in the 21st Century, I didn't want to hijack the OP's original thread regarding critique for his song. We were starting to move into other areas, so I decided to continue the discussion here. I've started out by replying to the last post by audiokid, where he is discussing the final stages of a mix.
