OK, if I pay $800 for a Firewire 1814 and M-Powered I CAN run it seperately on my laptop, but if I pay $400 more for a 002R with PTLE I CAN'T run it seperately?

From a software standpoint I think the only major diff is lack of control surface support in M-Powered. From a hardware standpoint there are some pluses and minuses on each side, but from what I can tell for basic analog IO for recording the two solutions are about equal except for a diff in the pre's (not sure if there is a diff and which way it leans).

Somewhere along the way of my life I got the idea of pay-more, get-more. Not pay-more, get-less. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
