I always found the ua-5 to feel really cheap and flimsy. I like the look of the fw 410, except for the missing level meters... though the ua-5 is in the same situation. For laptop it's no biggie cuz I can use the nice meters in software.
I owned a UA5 for a couple of months, never even actually used it (slut - I know), but I felt the same way. Seemed almost like a toy. I was concerned when I bought the R4 that it'd be a similar design. Luckily it's not, I think Edirol products have gotten considerably better built over time...
