Syra: I don't know your system info, but for the record I've spent a lot of time on the MC Control and MC Mixes and a 003. I MUCH prefer the 003. The 003 operates like Pro Tools, and until Avid updates the Euphonix boxes' software and hardware, they're going to operate (both in HUI and EuCon modes) like a 3rd-party box. Areas that are trouble for me are that the soft-key functionality isn't complete in EuCon, and I just can't get over the inverse thinking of On/Off Unmuted/Muted. Good luck, Nathaniel Reichman
