I have done both, and i love the VSL I will say that as most USB interfaces are it is not a solid as my old Delta card was, and you have to open it in the proper sequence, but once setup it is so useful. The preamps are great, and the fat channel live effects are worth the price of admission.

I also love the Studio one software it came with. I even did the black friday deal and upgraded to their mid level producer version. Then ARA integration with Melodyne is so powerful, and their comping feature for recording takes is priceless.
