Advice required...

[MonkeyMan]

Again I seek the advice of the many wise ones...

In the next couple of days I am picking up my new studio (yay!) - but I am at a bit of a cross roads. My core studio will consist of : -

Apple Mac Dual-Core G5
2 Gig ram
Logic 7
Access Virus TI (61 key)
Various software (Spectrasonics/Native Instruments)

I will be producing electronica and maybe the odd dance tune (odd being the operative word) I was thinking of adding either an RME FireFace 800 or an Apogee Rosetta 200.

What I am looking for is the highest affordable quality of sound. I will not use all of the ins & outs which the RME caters for. I may plug in my Juno 106 occasionally but apart from that I will not be using any other instruments.

I will be keeping my music production within the Mac as much as I can. I fully appreciate that RME is very well engineered and that it offers a superb quality of sound and features- the best in its price range. But it has a wealth of features which I will never use.

The Rosetta was recommended to me by a friend as a must have. He reckons that the sound quality is pretty much as good as it gets. Having researched this it appears that generally speaking he may be right.

In an ideal world I would have both. Any thoughts or opinions would be much appreciated. What would you purchase or go for looking at my set up? (it may be something else)
