So I have two Saffire Pro 40's, but one of them is broken (the firewire port is dead). It is estimated to cost around 200 to fix (so says the email), but I'm wondering if it would be more worth it to buy something else in the price-range.
I am curious whether or not those new behringer U-phoria UMC1820 units would be compatible through ADAT to give me the 8 extra inputs. (for essentially the same price)

I'm not sure they are even technically out yet, but I think it might be worth it (if it's compatible) because it would be an alternative interface that could hook up via USB in case firewire fails me again. I'm also curious about the MIDAS pre's.
What do you guys think? and is that possible to hook those up together?
