Along these lines, I already own an 896 but wanted to add a Firepod -
any danger or problem in mixing manufacturers? I like the fact that
the Firepod has XLRs on the front of the unit, tho I like the 896 as
well and hope they'll talk to each other or at least work side by
side....

are you using mac OS x 4??
it allows you to use any firewire devices, mix and match any and all,
it sees them as aggregate devices

Thanks, guys. I also found the new mackie interface. Right now I'm attracted
to the MOTU unit, because of it's facility as a standalone - even after it
becomes obsolete as a DAW interface.

I think you can pretty much chain any firewire MOTU however you like. I
know that the 828 is well supported, but look on Motu's website and
they talk about chaining in most of their interfaces. I think you need
to synchronise more than 2 though, if the chain gets big. I'm not sure
if you could used different interfaces in combination with each other,
but possibly. Using Audiodesk or DP setting up would probably be easy,
but maybe not so with other software.
