Add in the ADAT option for that Audient and you are looking at close to $2500 street. If you can afford something like that I'm amazed you considered the Behringer.
i've gained the experience i was looking for when i bought the behringers a few years back & am looking to move on. also my tax bracket has changed a bit from the time they were purchased.
mix shows MSRPs: ASP008, $1,495; ASP008 w/ADAT output, $1,995; ASP008 w/AES and ADAT, $2,195; ADAT option card, $525; and AES option card, $725 http://mixonline.com/mag/audio_audient_asp_microphone/
is the option card separate from the version with the output?
Looks like prices have come down a bit, but still...
