Roland Quad Capture vs Focusrite 18i6 vs Tascam US-800

Thinking of buying the Quad Capture tomorrow, but thought I'd get some opinions on the Tascam US800 (also USB2 and capable of 192kHz sample rate) and the Focusrite 18i6 AIs since they're in the same price range. I've heard the Focusrite drivers are not too cool, not sure on the Tascam. Please let me know the highs and lows. I'm running a Dell XPS 8300 I7 with 8GB ram on Win7 Thank you all! - Paul

    Buy the Quad capture,Roland is Second ONLY to RME[The only company to Totally  Nail good USB performance]Ive had no end of hassle [USB 1.1- RTLatency 28ms] with the OLD UA25-EX.I have ONLY heard great things about the Quad or especially Octacapture. PS I had a TASCAM US 600 for 3 weeks[3 of the longest weeks with ZERO sound]  before that,the NEW Tascam USB and SONAR Do Not Like Each Other IMO.

    Just got a Quad-Capture.

    Drivers seem typical of Roland... rock solid.

    In Sonar 7PE I ran the wave profiler and the latency is at 2ms.
    That's me happy.
