Anyone tried this? Seems like a good buy.

Looks good to me - what sort of price you looking at?

For what I'd like to do, I don't think I would mind paying the price. $250 sounds reasonable
I know alot of people have recommended the Saffire6 which records at 44kHz so is that considered the general sample rate or do many of you ever record at 96kHz?

I've had a Scarlett since the first week of June. I love it. I was about to get the saffire 6 when I saw the scarlett was coming out, glad I waited.
Edit:
I guess I should let you know how I use it.....
I have a 2.4ghz core2duo laptop with 4 gigs of RAM. 7200RPM HD
I run ableton suite with
4-5 audio clip tracks. (loops and bounced audio files)
4 midi tracks (3 channels of my Nord Lead 2x and one channel for my Mopho)
VSTs that play parts when triggered (AAS Lounge Lizard / z3Ta)
VSTs that I play live (MiniMogue VA, A rack of a few instances of Operator, A rack of a few instances of Zebra)
One Audio in Track (For a keyboard I run into the front input and will loop inside ableton)
I think I have about 6.0 ms buffer size and no problem running all of this on my machine.
I experienced a little bit of weirdness using the MIDI ports, but it makes more sense to use my oxygen's midi outs since I also use that to control the Mopho...
