Chris, glad to have been helpful. Before you buy, you may wish to ponder which model. The 321 is costlier than the 319, but has considerably higher resolution - reading the specs that seems to be the main difference between them. Within the 321 group, I notice the LaCie website no longer shows the 10-bit model, but only the 12-bit. However, over on the B&H site, they show both the 10-bit and the 12-bit for the 321, the latter being somewhat costlier (of course!). I don't know whether you are buying within the USA or not, but if yes, it would seem you have three choices in the proximate variety - all with Blue Eye - the 12-bit 319 at lower resolution, the 321 at higher resolution with either 10-bit or 12-bit correction. If it were me, within that price range - and expecting that I would keep it for a good three years, using it intensively, I would buy the best of the three - as I did when I bought mine at the time; but we each have our own views and priorities on *affordability*; and, I can't advise which of three would be "sufficient" for two reasons: (a) II'm not in your shoes regarding needs and preferences, and even if I were, ( I'd want to see a direct comparison between these products, and that is not available to me. That said and done - and I would hope Andrew can come in here with his view - if the choice between 10 and 12 bit is still available as it seems, that's nice, but I'd be surprised if it made a huge difference to image quality for data coming from an 8-bit video card - but I stand to be corrected. I do think, however, that the resolution difference is a worthwhile consideration.
