I have a bit more info on the Ensemble from Apogee Digital...

"The conversion in the Ensemble is a small step below the Rosetta 800. Ensemble is designed to be a killer all-in-one solution for the Mac, where the Rosetta is meant to be an amazing I/O solution for someone who may already have some pre amps and a monitoring set up and additionally may want to run the Rosetta as a stand alone front and back end for any number of recording situations and recording applications (PC or Mac) with the emphasis on achieving the best conversion. The difference between the two is not large by any stretch. I think your choice should fall more on your specific working situation and what you are wanting to achieve. We are on track to release the Ensemble at the end of February. The retail price will be $1995."

So there you go - current Rosetta users do not need to despair as they still have the edge on the conversion stakes. I am also lead to believe that the Apogee Rosetta 800 is going to be 192 Khz as standard instead of 96 Khz for no extra charge ($1000 saving).

Tomer - I could see PC users getting the same treatment in the near future - but perhaps not Native in Logic. I think Apogee and Apple have attempted to start a new trend/direction in the way people choose their software and hardware, almost simplifying the process into a combined single package option. If this brings prices down and improves sonic quality and usability... bring it on.
