interface suggestions?

well, i have been using a line 6 ux2 for about a year, worked great, then one day, nothing. i have been back and forth with line 6 tech support and im getting the run-around. i installed all the new drivers, did everything i could think of with them on the phone. (installing new drivers, trying the device on other computers) after about a week of reading reviews and complaints about this unit, i have come to the decision that this thing is crap and line 6 could care less that this damn thing is still under warranty. after reading everything about this very common issue, i dont even want repairs or replacement. im willing to bite the bullet and just buy something else. all i need is 1-2 inputs, $150-$200 simplicity, vista/reaper compatible im undecided about firewire or USB, some one please sell me on which way to go. :( <----this is my sad face

I messed around for years and finally took the advice of Sweetwater rep and got a MiniBox from Digidesign. I', a real newbie and total idiot about all of this stuff and I haven't had a problem one out of this unit. Works like the ads say it does. Would recommend this over anything else for easy in and out in small home setup.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems with the unit.I have a small Line6 GX(Pre Studio GX) and it's been kicked and abused and still going strong over 2 years down-the-line.There are of course tens of thousands of satisfied Line6 users. I assume you have complained on the Line6 forum? Also here in the UK the warranty of a device is the responsibility of the vendor if say bought from a shop or an on-line shop?They should replace it?
