I bought an M-Audio FW410 before the Edirol FA101 was available. The
FA101 looks great. M-Audio has a new FW box, the FW1810 (or sumthin like
that) for about $500, that improves on the FW410 by having 4
simultaeneous analog inputs AND the two headphone jacks can be fed from
separate channels which is great (The FW410 sends the same signal to both
headphone outs).

The FW410 has great latency for such a cheap box (ca 9ms total in/out), I
bet the Edirol is similar.
