Interface face-off...MOTU vs. PreSonus vs. Tascam: opinions?

This is a branch from my first post ("Yet Another Noob - interface questions")

Based on what I've read here, I've concluded that an audio interface is my next investment.

I don't mind starting with fewer inputs if I can expand later on by either adding another similar unit or additional preamps.

problem recording with PreSonus firestudio project, stops...

Ok, we are trying to record clips of our band live with this

anyway we were trying to test it at home running keyboard lines to it (4, but weve had the same problem with 8 or 1 or whatever).

Whenever we try to record anything with it, it records for a few seconds (usually 2-12) and then it stops recording. then the bar continues (but it does not resume recording).

MOTU larger than 828MKII vs. 24 version vs. PreSonus/ other ?

Hi, I am planning on buying a macbook pro soon, likely 17inch, upgrading to 7200 RPM, and maybe the 4 gigs of Ram option.
Eventually I'd like to be able to do some portable multitrack recording on it. I was reading up on tweaks guide and lots of other things I could find on the net. I have a question regarding the MOTU 828MKII 24/96 Audio Interface.
