001 or 2408 & midi time pc

[eam]

I'm starting from scratch. Right now I have a Roland VS1680HD and I can't decide if I should go to a 001 or another i/o interface such as 2408 ,perhaps Logic Platium etc. I do not plan on doing anything other than audio recording with a few things like a sampler a drum machine, and keyboard. Should I spend the extra cash now or would I be satisfied with 001. I saw the video Digidesign released on the 001 and was really impressed. I am not a egg-head when it comes to using complex programing tools.The 001 looks easy to get right to work.

I picked up my 001 on Friday. Very cool.
No major problems, though I'm on a G4/450
and I occasionally have gotten a bus error.
Of course, this computer is not officially
supported.
Since the new 001 is host-dependent, make
sure you have a good computer that you're
working on, otherwise, you won't be able to
do as many tracks or use as many plugins.
This, timecode, and better hardware
are the major reasons to go to the full
system. It sounds great, imo. I haven't
yet tried to use the midi functions, but 5.0
(LE) sure is nice. Good luck. Kevin
