Mackie or TubePAC?

[Hard2Hear]

I can't decide which is better to record into my soundcard. Either I can use my Mackie 1604VLZ or I can use my ART TubePAC (Like the MP, but with compression built on).
Any opinions or suggestions?

Take your pick, obviosly U can't use just a tube pack for drums, so use the mackie fer drums and U could use the tube fer vocals, just compare the sound between the 2 =)

in the end use yer ears to make the final decision,

I have a PAC and a 1402 VLZ.Each has it strong points.I like the PAC for bass,el. guitar and some vox.The Mackie shines for me on acou. guitar and other vox.
