Sound quality wise I haven't heard a audio input device top the sound quality of a BLA modded 002! At least, none under $2500 with as much as inputs as the 002... I have one at my studio and I'm very pleased, to say the least, with the sound quality of it. Not only the playback has improved big time, my recordings sound so much better now, it's unbelievable...

BLA talks about a certain 'fatness' added to your sound and I've been making some hiphop lately that (of course) has to be fat.. My customers were blown away!!

I haven't compared it to the 2626, and as far as input/output count it tops the 002 big time. If you need that many of simultaneous ins/outs you should get it. But if you don't, and you have the cash to back it up I would most definitely go for a BLA modded 002! (if possible 003, since that's the latest digi device and will be supported longer..)
