In the case of the Twin-finity preamp, my own view on that is it might be worth holding off or stretching it a bit to go for the 4-710 instead. In many ways, it offers a lot more. First, you have 4 X 710's, second, some useful compression, thirdly, you get another 4 channels of line inputs with A/D conversion, but last - and most importantly - it acts as a superb ADAT extender with a Twin interface. You not only get those extra pres, plus another 4 line inputs, but you also get to keep (and be able to use) the existing Unison pres in the Twin simultaneously. It costs more.... but equally, does a lot more. I was using a Presonus Digimax as a temporary ADAT extender, while keeping a watchful eye out for a used 4-710.... one finally came up and I grabbed it. An excellent unit, and a near perfect complement to the Twin interface.
