Final Mix with SPDIF vs balanced inputs

Hi folks, This is my first post and also wanted to say thanks for the great music information and site! I am more of a musician than an engineer so I appreciate all levels of feedback.

I have been browsing around and reading quite a bit but did not see anything specific to my topic so I thought I better post my question.

Can I mix on only one monitor?

I am mixing sampled, processed drums to a professionally produced track. I have never had near-field monitors before and am confused as to which ones to purchase. I was thinking about getting a better monitor to get better results. If I buy one good monitor, such as Genelec 8030a, will I be able to mix my drums with good results?

Focusrites Liquid Mix vs Logic 9

Hello, inexperienced noobs here :)

OK so we have sort a a simple set up right now. While we have a tone of vintage and classic guitar, bass gear that you would drool over, the recording set up is RME Fireface 800 connected to a MAc Pro that has been responsible of putting all of our recording into Logic (9 at this point).
