I'm wondering which audio interface would be better for my needs. I'd like to record voice and acoustic guitar using two different mics and afterward doing some harmony vocals and perhaps a second guitar track and some bass. The real problem I want to avoid is major latency. Will I have substantially less with the firewire digi 002r than with the mbox. Some users have said that the latency with mbox is not a problem while others have said it is a true annoyance. Just wondering what some of you users of either audio interface have to say. Also, how many audio inputs can the digi 002r take at a time? I know the mbox can only take two, which of course is pretty limited.

I don't know much about the Mbox. But direct monitoring is you hearing the audio signal going into the setup before it goes through analog to digital conversion and gets processed "into" the computer, which produces the lag time. So you hear it "live". You should check out if the mbox does this. I bet it does. I've heard good things about it.
