i have an alesis and i am quite happy.
using the connected PC as an FX device is quite tricky, but works.

if you have some money and time you should wait for dice-2 support in
freebob and get a firewire mixer instead, though.

also note that the alesis usb is only 16bit 44.1kHz
its not an error to run at 48kHz but you only record silence.
