I work on film productions as a sound guy. I wanted to get into post sound.
 I wanted to get m box 2 with pro tools but then I started reading these forums and realized that firewire 1814 would be much better choice. A lot of people complain about 48khz m box's highest. But do you need more for movies??? I want to get the product which will work with my needs. What do you guys think??

Bit rate is more important than sample rate - so 24-bit/48kHz is a very decent, totally professional standard for recording. Personally, I don't like the Mbox or Pro Tools, but there's nothing wrong with its tech spec. Everyone likes to have 96kHz interfaces these days, but I bet hardly anyone is really using that particular feature.
If you do look at the Mbox, see how loud the preamps go - there have been a lot of complaints that they're not loud enough. The Firebox preamps are actually pretty quiet, too - sound great, but quiet. A dedicated mic pre is always the way to go. There was also a very, very long thread on these forums when the Mbox 2 was first announced - you might like to read through that. Do a search - lot of interesting comments
