Whether this is acceptable or not for you is all up to you.
I will add that at 44.1kHz the AVID I/O is 1.9ms A/D + D/A time. Many other I/Os are actually much faster at 44.1 and are more like 1ms (lynx Aurora comes to mind). This will certainly help. But if your buffer is truly 128 then 6ms - 7 ms RTL is not much difference to me (both pretty high).

We never track with DSP plugs these days and never use any plugs on the record enabled channels. We use 1073 pre-s and the only 'effect' we may use is a Native reverb or delay as an insert on the channel being recorded.
Sounds like there is no benefit to Avid I/O other than the 32 input issue?
