Mbox 2 Mini or PreSonus Audio Box

[skywirest]

First Post, bare with me! I am looking to get either the Mbox 2 Mini complete with Pro Tools LE Software or the PreSonus Audio Box with Cubase LE 4 software. I am really new to computerized recording and I also need a great mobile device such as these 2 listed. What do you all think is potentially the better buy? I noticed that there is a significant price difference between the 2. Any information would be very helpful.

I think the MBox is the better choice between the two just because I think Pro Tools LE is a bit more functional and easier than Cubase 4 LE.

I have a mini that I bought for twiddling with mixes at home, like it very much. I'm not familiar with the PreSonus box but it does look like a pretty good buy. However, I'd be surprised if the Cubase software included is as full-featured as PTLE, but I couldn't say for sure. If you're going to be carrying it around, you'll be happy to know the mini is a very robust little metal box, I would not feel uncomfortable throwing it into a duffle bag.
