Tascam vs. Event usb

[jellylog]

Since generic questions don't seem to work i'll try specifics. I've done a little homework on the whole usb mixer scene and the two that come up most often and seem to be the closest to what i need are:

event EZbus:

and the tascam us428:
http://www.TASCAM.com/products/us428/index.cfm


any comments on either good or bad are welcome and helpful

Thanks again

seems like the e-zbus is more flexable. It's an intresting piece of gear. I want one! But really I think it'd just sit and collect dust if I had it. Love to have a control surface to work with. Look Ma! real faders! but... I use Vegas.. yeah it'd collect dust.

I've heard a lot of good things about the converters in their 24 track hard disk recorder. Maybe the conversion is on par with that? maybe not... Dosen't matter. Soon we'll all have Lucids!

Well the tascam records 4 tracks at once and the ezbus only records 2. Do you have any condensers? Instead of spending the extra $200 for the ezbus I suggest you get a preamp with phantom power if you do.
