I'm interested in buying this.... doesn't look like it's released yet.

So, I only have about $200-$300 to spend on an audio interface. I'll be using it with my macbook, so I need usb 2.0. I'll mainly use it to track drums, guitars, etc... so the 6 mic pres would come in handy.

Any words of caution or other recommendations?

Anybody have any experience with the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra? Care to compare/contrast?
