Yes, they're very good. I had my eye open for one when I 
stumbled upon a deal for 128x (big brother to the 64x and 64xtc.)

The significant differene between the 64x and xtc models are the 
SMPTE read/write options. I don't know if this is important to you - 
I don't have any need to sync to video or stand alone DAW 
equipment so I never use those features.

In regards to your earlier question on the MOTU MicroExpress - 
is that the serial port only versionor the combination USB/Serial 
port model? I know that the early USB version used a different 
subset of the USB protocol for error correction then the Opcode/ 
MIDIman, and Roland (Edirol) models but I can't recall anybody 
saying it was any improvement. I'd hit a MOTU list and search the 
archives...
