Thoughts on Focusrite Saffire PRO 14?

I have it and i love it. I had the lexicon omega and another neginner Interface.
They sucked due to the driver issues. The omega even had warmth Problems.
The pro 14 was just plug n play. So good. I cant judge the sound quality other than saying its good to my ears and the latency is low.
 
Had mine for over a year now and not had a single problem with it. Great value for money imo.

Hey, as far as I know, it comes with a software for mixing, and I was wondering if it always runs with it? I mean, is there any way to use the interface without that software? Like, when I am running the interface with cubase and I am recording a guitar or something like that, I really dont want that program to be open, you understand?
 
well i dont know about this one. but for their pre-amps/compressor, they are really unrelaibale. mine has gone dead for three times now, and the one in the studio also has connection problems
