But the Multiface has ADAT too for only $800-900.  And it has the 
computer uplink as well.  It actually looks like it has more 
functionality than the ADI-8 (unless I'm missing something), since an 
ADI-8 can't be connected directly to a computer, but a Multiface can via 
RME's PCI-E card.

So why would I want an ADI-8?  If it's possible to hook up a second 
Multiface to a first one's ADAT port and run the second one without a 
computer, then that seems like a much cheaper way to get 8 more i/o's.
