Hi, I just got one! But beware: I'm no recording pro, just startin' off. But I do have an eye for software and hardware quality and I like what I see: This unit looks sturdy and well built, the Saffire Mixer Software is way cool. I had an Alesis I/O 26 to for comparison. Whereas the sound (to my beginner's ears) was not that different, the software is.
Focusrite offers a lot routing flexibility (I don't need right now), is way more intuitive to use and looks way better. For you this probably will translate to: Open box - install stuff - get to work fast. :-)
You'll love it I'm sure.
Give it a try,

P.S.: Some people critisized that the gain "knobs" don't work linearly but seem to be tuning fine in the first 2/3s and rather rough at the end. True. I takes some getting used to if your sound sources are rather fine and low key or your mikes have less sensitivity. But ... no big deal here.
