Actually, I was looking also at the Contour Shuttle Pro (which I can get 
a discount since I have a registered version of Cakewalk) and some of 
the M-Audio controllers, which are all USB (and cheaper than the JL 
Cooper products).  Do you have more information on their support under 
Linux?  I couldn't find any via the Linux USB site.
