I'm a bit curious about that controller, i really want to get it as it is cheap and looks pretty solid (plus i have seen PVD uses it live). Can you give me some pros and cons of it please?
And yeah i will also be using it for reason.

not really, it does what it is suppose to do, i thought i had latency-issues with it but it turns out that was soundcard settings-issue and asio4all mess. u dont need to install anything its just plug n play. i use it it reason and it works nice. the knobs and faders feels cheap and i doubt it will last long, i just got it. i would want more buttons tho (one or two over each channel would rock!). its not very expensive tho so just buy it.

Definitely feels REALLY cheap and I'm not convinced it'll last long

But it works. A few of my friends use them...

I disagree. The new Macbooks don't have Firewire so they're completely useless for production. USB sound cards suck.

If that was a picture of the new Macbook Pro I'd agree. God, those are sleek. I want one so bad.

I disagree. The Apogee Mini-DAC has USB... but it can only do 48khz under this vs. 192khz over firewire. But even with the Mini-DAC at 41.1khz, it still doesn't suck.

OK I'll clarify

There are VERY few good USB soundcards. USB just isn't the greatest for high speed audio applications, especially if you multitrack.

Apogee is very expensive. You can get a good FW sound card for 250$, whereas a good USB sound card will run you 500-600$+, and be worse than a FW card for that price.

You're better off spending the extra dough for the MBP, the regular macbook doesn't really have the performance you'd want for production anyways (IMO).
