Actually the Presonus ships with Studio-One and the M-Audio doesn't ship with anything. However, the M-Audio will work with M-Powered Pro-tools and pretty much anything else for that matter. The Presonus won't work with Pro-tools but will work with just about anything else. The Presonus has more inputs (2 mic-6 line and 2 spdf) vs (2 mic- 2 line and 2 spdf) it will also daisy chain with other Firstudio models. Don't know about the M-Audio. These 2 products are really pretty close. If Pro-tools is an issue and you have to or even want to use it, then the M-Audio will have to be the choice. Bare in mind that you'll have to buy a copy of Pro-Tools M-Powered $250.00) That is almost as much as the interface. So you can pay $550.00 total for the M-Audio protools setup. Or $300.00 for the Presonus with Studio one. I got this info from Sweetwater.com You may be able to get a better price on everything elsewhere.
