Default Re: mbox preamps

I read that they are the same as the Focusrite Platinum's. Interesting is that when the Mbox was first introduced all the ads boasted it had class A mic preamps. Now they make no more mention of it..., I wonder why?

If I was to guess, now I have no true idea, I'll bet the 002 has the same preamps as the Mbox. But now that's just a guess!

Update:
Well here are some specs on the 002 vs. Mbox's preamps. But I don't know what all is involved in preamp specs:

002,
Mic E.I.N (unweighted):
* Inputs 1-4: -127 dBu @ 65 dB gain, 150 ohm source, 20 Hz — 20 kHz

vs.

Mbox,
Mic E.I.N (unweighted):
*Inputs 1-2: -126 dB @ 40 dB gain, 150 ohm source

Did I lose my bet or is there more to it?
Confused,
Chris
