is dishing out thousands on Digital audio equipment a REAL investment

I mean... like does it really make sense?
What's the real point in spending 5k on an interface.. when theres just going to be a "better" one later?
I mean how clear can audio REALLY get? Or is it about having the most options?
What is it that they found a way to make that much less hiss on the audio track? its MORE crystal clear?

Mid-range digital consoles- Tascam vs Yamaha?

I will be updating 3 new rooms with mid-ranged digital consoles in the spring 2012, I've been using the Mackie D8b's for about 10 years now. Unfortunately Mackie has basically dropped out of the mid-ranged digital console market after the Digital X-bus (Which was discontinued and buggy, from what I've read).

Using A Digital Console as a Controller

I am wondering how common this is?

I recently got a hold of a Tascam DM24 on the cheap, and we are using it as a midi controller w/ Nuendo 4.
I'm tired of doing fader and panning automation w/ a mouse - in general, tired of using a mouse unless absolutely necessary.

For me, it's about a better workflow more than anything.
