silly question about DAW's versus a computer based setup

hi guys, it's been a while.

well, here is the question I am posing:
can someone please shed some light on the benefits of a setup like the Roland VS2000CD? http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--ROLVS2000CD

My normal setup was a Delta 1010 and an Alesis Studio 32.
Here's the thing - I sold the Delta 1010 a while ago because I wasn't doing much recording - and now that I am getting back in the swing, I need something that I can cart around a little easier, something that might be a bit more accessible, and something I can dump audio from onto my computer for editing later. I do simple solo stuff - most of it is multiple instrument, but always tracked - by myself - for theatrical production. I'm a composer, and a sound designer for theatre (as well as a lighting designer, as some of you might remember - the artist guy). I have pondered this question for some time now, and I am hoping someone can either A) shed some light on this subject for me, or B) at least tell me a better DAW than the Roland. I like the extra monitor, and I like being able to access things with a mouse.

Does anyone have any insight? Please help. I'd certainly appreciate it.
Jimmy

I have recorded on the vs2000, its a good unit. I would get a laptop and a MBox2 and go that route. You say simple solo stuff, the mbox has 2 pre's and pro tools le is a great tool. You can get a decent laptop and mbox for the same pric as a vs2000 as well. And have better recordings. ;) My 2 cents.
 
Tascam FW1082 Firewire DAW Controller

what about this gear?
is this something that could be controlled using something like Cool Edit Pro or Adobe Audition? The price seems about pretty right, and it looks like something I might be able to get into...

Any replies? please?
