PreSonus Audiobox or Mbox 2 Mini?

I am new to computerized recording and I am looking to either buy the Mbox mini2 with Pro Tools LE or the PreSonus audiobox with Cubase LE. I realize the diffrences between the two products, but what are some pros and cons of both that you all like or dislike? Any information would be helpful. Also if you are bold, which would you buy for the money?

Mbox 2 Mini Vista SP1 Compatability

Hey,

I was just about to buy the Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini, when I noticed it says that its not compatible with Vista SP1. Now I have Vista Home Premium (32 bit) so thats fine, but I have upgraded to Service Pack 1 .It says an announcment will be made in March 2008 ? and thats all there is on the website ?

So does anyone know if its compatible with Vista SP1 yet?

Will MBox 2 have sufficient gain to power SM7?

I plan on purchasing a Shure SM7B for hip hop vocals, and I also plan on purchasing the Mbox 2 with Pro Tools to accompany it in recording. I've heard about problems with using the SM7 with an interface/pre that doesn't have enough gain to handle it, so I was just curious if the Mbox 2 will work well to get solid, clean recordings with the SM7.

Thanks!

Mbox 2 PRO vs PreSonus firestudio project

Hi everyone, my first post! I am getting my son either MBox 2 PRO or the PreSonus firestudio project. I have the specs from the compays, but which is a better quality interface and which software will be easyer to learn. PreSonus comes with Cubcase le and M box 2 PRO comes with Pro Tools le and lots of plugins.
We do not want to be limited in expantion in the future.
