Sorry rodreb...I forgot to say it was the Focusrite VoiceMaster Pro. It was a difficult choice to choose between the two and the circumstances gave me little time to exhaustively work both units over.
For my singer's voice and style of singing and mic, I felt the Focusrite gave me the more "aggressive" effect I felt I needed, and I was able to "get the sound I wanted" quicker with that unit.
I'm stating a lot of caveats because I don't want it to appear I'm talking down the PreSonus Eureka which is certainly not the case. The Eureka might just be perfect for you and the mic you use. With more time to play with it, I might have kept it instead. We tried it first and it sounded so good, I almost didn't even open up the Focusrite box. The Presonus had a very silky, warm sound indeed. The Focusrite "won" mostly due to it's compressor and expander.
If possible, you may want to consider doing what I did and getting both, with the clear understanding from who you buy from that one or the other will go back. Both units are excellent IMO.
