Interface challenge: MOTU, Mbox2, Edirol

[FiveMiles]

Hi folks,

I'm starting to narrow down my mobil recording setup. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with the following, or could compare them:

DigiDesign Mbox 2

MOTU UltraLite

Edirol FA-66

Which is best for mobile recording?

How important is using Protools to you? If not very, the mbox isn't really a good choice. It's okay for some things, but way too limited for full bands. Mostly for folks that just do vox over existing tracks, or track using other means and just want the minimum hardware to use Protools as an editor, mixer and maybe the occasional overdub.
