M-audio Mobilepre Usb Vs. Aardvark Direct Mix Usb3 Options

[T1mon]

I would like to record my guitar with a 12" Powerbook (and external monitor, don't worry).
I looked at some interfaces and these two seem to be good.

Aardvark Direct Mix: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=03...l/base_id/55331
Which one do you prefer or is there another one I should look into?
I just wanna record my guitar, so I don't really need 10 inputs.

Would I have to use a preamp to get a decend sound? I have Amplitube Live but when I used it I had a 2 sec delay on everything I did. (scroll windows, open folders...)

m-audio has a better history of mac support. that would leed me to suggest the moble pre. the older m-audio usb duo is simmilar, has better converters, and can be found used for about as much as the moble pre. edirol has a few usb audio interfaces that might work for you (the ua-3fx looks good, and the built in effects would get you away from latency problems in amplitude).

ultimately, good "traditional" guitar sounds are hard to get running strait into an interface. the signal level is low and the impedences don't match. unless the interface you buy has a dedicated "guitar" or "high z" imput, you should probobly use an external amp simulator, direct box, or at least a foot pedal with some gain.
