Re: Why PT?
If you feel you MUST use ProTools for compatibility with someone else, then do. If you're doing all recording, editing and mixing yourself then it doesn't matter.
Since you're doing classical recording, you will probably NOT like the mic pre options on any of the Digi (M-Powered) hardware. I'd recommend looking for an M-Audio interface with ADAT I/O and pickup a high-quality multi-channel mic pre that would feed the M-Audio box via ADAT. The M-Audio box, at that point, is merely a DONGLE so ProTools will run. The 1814 is a good choice for this, and it's what I use feeding it with a Focusrite OctoPre.
Happy shopping.
