If anything, i'd compare the RME (probably Multiface) with the 1010 proper, not with the el cheapo 1010LT. Even then the cards are still quite different. And the LT is not even balanced. I suspect you probably don't need the RME if you look favourably upon the 1010LT. If that's true, then it's simple: you need balanced analog? then get the 1010. you don't need balanced? then get the 1010LT. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
