Presonus Firebox VS M-Audio Firewire 410

[L'argonauta]

Hi guys.
I'm looking for a no-internal audio-card for my Pc.
My price range is 350-450euro.
The final match is between Presonus Firebox and M-Audio Firewire 410.
Please, in your opinion , what is the better ( considering compatibility,stability too) ?
Waiting for your advices...
Thank you.

I've been very impressed by the quality of Presonus' preamps, have not used M-Audio's though. The upside of the M-Audio unit is it's compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered.

I sent my 410 back after a day, it was very unstable and randomly reset the control panel when it felt like.

The Firepod seems good, although I have no direct experience with it.

I am finding the Edirol FA-101 very good, 10-in 10-out for around your budget.
