Excellent responses guys, thanks a lot.
I basically just want to try out ProTools, as part of my own "education" in sound recording, and obviously I can't do this without buying some Digi hardware, so it seems like good sense to start off with the Mbox2 (on my PC, and my iBook). If we really get on, I guess I can upgrade to the 002 if I need more inputs, although if it sounds the same and uses the same software there might be little point.
Regarding the track limitations of LE, I don't think I've ever used more than 20 tracks in my life, and if there were more than that (with plugins) it's likely my DAW would start chugging anyway. I like to keep things as simple as possible so this limitation might even work in my favour, stopping me from "overproducing" things which is always a risk.
