Hi Nate, I would regard all Apogee products as high-quality and definitely great for any setup. The new Element series is less expensive by making the products a bit more software driven. That said, they do also offer the Apogee Control which is a hardware remote for the Elements series. As always, when moving away from one surface, one needs to consider the jump and it looks like the Fader Port 8 is a good deal for the price at around $500. There's been talk for a while about a Digi 004 but I wouldn't hold my breath. I think they're ditching the digi concept and going for the S series. I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with an S1 or something along those lines. Time will tell… Slau
