What are the main drawbacks of going the "third party" route? Let's say I get a RME UFX II or similar. I don't do critical tracking so extreme low latency is not a must. Stability is key however

Failed concept??? My trash can has been serving flawlessly for 5 years!! I don't think you know what you're talking about. Come talk to us when you want to upgrade your operating system on the Hack. Not saying it can't be done, but it's a nightmare maze of Kext files and obsoleted components that have to be replaced. Your professional builder probably won't be in business in 3 or 4 years. I wouldn't go that way on a bet. Too many friends with regrets. The Mac Tower rebuilds are pretty good from what I hear.
