Would you get Mbox 2 pro or digi 002R ?

[The golfer]

Last week I bought a mbox 2 pro. Now I have an option to buy another one or
to trade my toolbox audiomedia for a Digi 002R for the same price. this is for a foley recording studio. Which one would you recommend? The Digi 002r has been out for a while.Does it have a better low latency monitoring than the Mbox 2 Pro? The reason i have kept my audiomedia card for so long was because pci card had no latency. I am also planning to buy a high quality channel strip that would have A/D converter to record and transfert Digitaly to the Mbox 2 pro or digi 002R . Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Seems it would come down to whether or not you need more inputs for simultaneous tracking? Do you need the ADAT I/O the 002R offers? Do you need to be somewhat portable for certain applications? If no to all 3 then I don't see the point of getting the 002R. Preamps on both are passable, definitely won't be a step up in that dept by going with the rack, they're both firewire and with low buffer setting, latency is tolerable, and besides, you plan on buying that channel strip so that erradicates said issue. Dunno, if the mbox is doing the job for what you need then keep the honeymoon fresh.

Pk Hat thanks for your helpfull comments. I also read that the Mbox 2 pro is not externally clockable
at 96k, even from s/spdif. So that make my choice easier.

Where did you read that about 96k?
