I just got the box and I like it

I have been using the Line6 UX2 since it came out and I have been very happy with it and it really has great sounds. I decided to get the Line6 UX8 because its a pro rack mountable box that has 8 Analog preamp mic/line I/O's, SPDIF I/O's, Expression Pedal Input (for Wah Wah, & Volume, etc.), Two Instrument Inputs with Pads, and 24-96 on all 8 Ins at once.
Just so you know, it only does two GearBox processed inputs at once, the other 6 inputs are just regular preamp mic/lines, but the good news is that the UX8 includes the GearBox in VST so you can apply it to any of your recorded tracks (excellent value!). Another thing to know is that
since the UX8 is USB 2.0 it does require a faster computer to take advantage of using live VST instruments in your DAW and the GearBox up at the same time, which I think is necessary. And one more thing, the drivers don't support x64 yet, but they do support Vista 32 bit. This box sounds great!
