Lexicon Omega Studio?, This or Bias Deck for Mac? Options

[fathed]

I have been scoping things out for a while, and have been close to going with the tascam us-122 because it has software to ge me up and going on the cheep before I start throughing down lots of money.

Being a hobbyist home musician I was also drawn towards the emagic 6/2 but being married with a child can't get to the extra $500 for software. Now I find the Lexicon Omega Studio which looks like it would be great!

Muliple ins (8 devided into 4 pairs (whatever that means)) software for the mac and PC and zero latency and spdif in and out.

What more could one ask for?

Well, a review.

Has anyone seen this, used it or heard of it? What about bais? The French are talking about it in mac music, but I can't get much beyond the 'oui' (God love 'em, some one has to keep us sane)

I'll be getting a 1.25 ghz mac laptop soon, so that would be the main use for it.

Rick,
Thanks, though I might just try that in reverse; that is I might buy the 122 then if I need more software I'll step up to the Logic. I kinkd of have to proove I need it to the wife.

So far logic sounds to be the best / most compatible with the mac, for users who wish to dabble in midi as well as audio recording and track editing. And I do like the multiple ins of the emagic 6/2. hmm.

I'll just keep looking 'till I spend spend spend.
