Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 owners

Like it, love it or hate it?
From what research I've done I think I'm really going to like it. 
Just want to know if there's any issues I should be aware of either as a unit or it's compatibly with X1.

Thanks
Mike

    Hey Scott.
    Does it run on WDM or just ASIO? and how bad can the latency be? It's
    got to be better than the Fast Track Pro I'm using now. I can only get 5 or 6 ms now.
    I figured the mix control panel with 0 latency monitoring would take care of that. I dont use VSTi's, only live instruments if that helps at all.

    Thanks for the input guys.

    Here's a fairly detailed review from last year, albeit not using the latest PC or OS or Sonar:
