I see it as a bit of a no brainer in favour of the RME. The fact the effects processing alone would be a big factor for me. The converters are going to sound stellar that is for sure. You might even get a lower latency with the RME unit. There are only two Mic Pres as opposed to 8 on the VS700R but I guess you have got some other strategies worked out there. The one I am interested in from RME is the Fireface UFX that is a pretty nice unit too.
TotalMix is going to be a huge advantage over the V700 editor as well, no comparison really. And it is going to be very quiet too which you will appreciate very much. I also like very quiet working bits in my studio and I would find that a pain as well, interface making too much noise that is.
There are plenty of controller options now as well instead of the V700C. I am looking to the UAD Apollo interface plus UAD built in concept right now and that is looking rather cool and worthwhile.
