I've gotten a similar quote from local dealers in So. Cal.

A friend of mine was given one of the first units in repay for some
help he gave with their demo software. His casual observations: 

  In 8-bit mode it has performance on a par with Apple's 1-bit mode.
  In 24-bit mode it has performance barely noticeably slower than 
    Apple's 8-bit mode.

dunno.
