I have a Steinberg TSL-2020 (discontinued) on my studio computer that is dedicated to my Akai DPS24 and a Alesis I/o 26 on my (Vista) computer running Reaper. I also have a Midiman 4x4 which I don't currently use. I use Midi very little in the studio, preferring to lay down audio tracks live, one by one. There are advantages to both methods, I just prefer to do it this way.

TLS-2020 - Excellent, but no more driver upgrades so no support for Vista.

Alesis i/o 26 - Very good sound quality but Vista drivers can be a little shakey.

Both have excellent features.
