Hey Sam, You made the pants TOO BIG:]
Well, oversized pants, as Bruce would say, "...it depends."
What gear will you use to pass on to the Masterlink? No doubt, the Masterlink is a fine piece of gear, especially with its upgrade.
I faced the same question a month ago. Did I want to mix from an MD8 into the Masterlink? The results probably would have been ok; however, I decided to upgrade my "entire" sound chain. So, I got the Yam 2816 and am now going through the manual and waiting for a video from Yamaha.
I think I've mentally got the box figured out but I'm in no hurry as I "still have my MD8 plugged in."
So, if you are already computerized and doing digital, maybe the Masterlink would enhance your set up. If not, you might think about the 2816 since it comes with a built in CDR.
Once again, "...it depends."
