I need more inputs than my old Delta 66, anyone use a Tascam US1800?

I finally have a space where I can record drums and my full band but I just don't have the inputs for it on my old Delta66. I'm not looking for high end as it is mostly doing low fi live band recordings with the option to rent some higher end gear and make some decent recordings. Will the US1800 be on par with the quality of my D66? I can't really go wrong for $300. Pros, cons....something better??? I'm running Sonar on a pc.

Thanks in advance,

    I don't have one, but the last thing I have heard is that the tascam devices have poor drivers.  they seem to be a "crap shoot."  they will work well on some systems, but not so much on others.

    how many inputs are you looking for and what price are you looking to spend?

    personally I'd look at the m-audio fast track ultra 8R or the some of the MOTU units (if you have a TI firewire chipset).

    one more thing to consider.  the delta 66 can be daisy chained so that you can up up to 4 of them in a PC to work together.
