Plus, even with the cheapest m-audio card you get Midi, and 4 ins and outs,

4 ins and outs has always been somewhat of a slight of hand with M-Audio. It's really 2 analog in/out plus 2 S/PDIF in/out.
Yep. Thats still 2 more than the Mbox.(Providing one could use all 4 simultaneous) You cant use 2 analog + 2 S/PDIF to give you 4 simultaneous I/O on the Mbox.

And for my purpose, I only need to monitor.

Noise
Most Pro interfaces these days are balanced TRS or XLR connections sinse about 1993.
The only real exception is Instrument inputs and Inserts.
Unbalanced connections are recommended to be less that 3 meters long.

M-Powered vs.LE

What about upgrades to new versions of pro-tools?

Will M-Powered owners be allowed upgrades to new versions as LE users do when the software is updated?

Or if no upgrades will ever be available (ie. once you've bought your M-Powered that's it for good) is that a concession for choosing the M-Powered route over LE, no upgrades?

Couldn't find anything on the digidesign website about this.

I can only guess but normally every software company has an upgrade policy. The question is how much it will cost. Some companies seems to be a bit greedy (Waves.. ) but Digidesign is showing a very reasonable upgrade policy so far on LE, a free upgrade within a limited time after purchasing and after that upgrades for about $ 75.- I would think they do the same with M-Powered.

Greets,
Pieter
