I've been thinking of the berhinger ADA8000 to go with my motu mk2 828 for recording live shows. BUt I'd like to get more ideas for mic pre's, i.e. do they have more afferct than what mics you have, is it better to have different mic pre's for options, or should I get something with eight in's to have better portibility consistantcy and control. What do you use, for what. If I have a limited budget I could get a lot of stuff(nicer mics) for the money I would save bying a ADA8000. A motu rep recomended m-audio's octane and Focusrite's octoPre. What do you think?

Thanks for the note
I did end up getting the Focusrite octopre le, though I was a little bumed that I had to pay an extra 200$ for the optical/adat card. Otherwise the sound quality is noticibly better than the motu 828 pre's
thanks again
