I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but the Saffire's DSP is an overrated aspect, IMHO. You can't use EQ and Amp Modelling at the same time - it's one or the other. You can't record the Reverb using the onboard DSP - it's for monitoring use only. You can't use the onboard DSP effects to treat signals coming through the digital S/PDIF. You've only got two analogue inputs. And if you've got a sequencer like Logic, you've already got some very nice plug-ins. Plus the software interface is horrible - I can't believe they designed it like that. Pale text on a pale background? Genius. The mic pres in both products are OK - calling them "Focusrite pres" doesn't make them sound any better. FWIW, neither product has better mic pres than the FMR Really Nice Preamp. Now THEY are very, very nice.
