Well, I looked at the Wave/424 too first. But it's not as good. First it doesn't support balanced connection. And the input are -10db, they support +4 but they just add a kind of pad, the outputs are only -10. And it doesn't have a breakout box. Plus Midiman has a pretty good reputation. Oh, and since I have to order direct from Gadget Labs, I have to pay in $US (I'm from Canada), which means around 470$CA I think, and
the Delta 66 is sold 510$CA here, so I suppose
the Delta 44 will be cheaper than the Wave/424 (probably aroun 350-400$CA).
