scarlett 2i2 vs roland quad capture

I just bought the scarlett 2i2 and plugged it in for the first time last night. Im not sure how i feel about it so far but i am still trying to figure out if the quad capture is worth the extra money.

Windows 7 (64bit)
core2quad @ 2.4ghz
Sonar x1

I am replacing my PCI audio card, an Echo MiaMIDI (great card when it worked but drivers had constant conflicts)

Anyone had any experience with ROLAND CM 110 or CM 220 Studio monitors

Currently looking to upgrade my speaker system (quite rubbish atm), which I use for playing synths, mixing and listening to audio on my PC, and am looking to either buy a pair of Rokit 5's or a Roland CM 110's cube system. The 110's seem a better bang for my buck, but I can't seem to find any reviews or discussion on them.

best preamp: MOTU 896HD, Tascam DR680, ROLAND R44?

Hi guys,
I need to record piano recitals with 3 or 4 Audio Techinca mics. I use MOTU 896HD with Macbook Pro and Logic Pro, but it isn't really a "portable" solution. So I wonder if Tascam DR680 or ROLAND R44 could be a good solution. In your opinion MOTU's preamps (and generally the recording quality) are better then DR680 and R44, or not? Quality is similar or not?

UAD Roland Dimension D - the ultimate chorus? (includes sound clips)

I finished writing an article about Universal Audio's UAD Roland Dimension D chorus plugin . This one is quite straightforward to research and write about but is absolutely one of my favourite effects and is one of the few plugins that I use on every single session. I like to put it on the reverb and delay sends for some extra-lush sound.

Roland Juno-type keyboard song player...

Juno keyboards with the USB flash-drive function on top panel that can play back WAV, MP3, AIFF, etc.

Downloaded manuals for all applicable models, searched through instructions, analyzed MIDI Implementation charts, and still have no conclusive answer.

Emailed Roland, got zilch. Following is my email, and their non-answer:
