Sytek MPX-4Aii pre - good enough?

I'm looking to buy a preamp, gonna use it for recording electric/acoustic guitars, bass and some vocals. I've seen quite a few people recommend it and I was wondering, for $900 (which can be bought on ebay), is there a better preamp?
I'm interested in getting the best sound quality possible with roughly a grand. If there is anything better than this puppy please bring it up.

Any Nero users?

Hi Gang, I've been using Nero6 Ultra for CD burning and also for some editing/mastering with the bundled Wave Editor2. I recently started mixing in Sonar, files tracked on HD multitrack deck. The Wave Editor is supposed to be able to handle 24 bit and 32 bit files, but refuses to touch the mixed stereo files from Sonar unless in 16 bit. Any thoughts?

BASS PLAYER

I just finished a CD for a band. Every one in the group loved it except the bass player. The bass is right where it needs to be. The mix is great yet he wants more volume on the bass. He wants to hear every single note as if it were a solo track. The bass is clear and punchy, what should I tell the guy? Should I screw up the mix just to make a deaf guy happy? Do you get this crap often?
