I use the 2882 and like it a lot.  There have been some driver problems in 
the past and on a laptop I've had some firewire issues when trying to use an 
external hard drive on the same bus.  But with panther & the latest drivers 
everything works fine for me.  It sounds great and the build quality is 
excellent.  The preamps on the 2882 are noisy at higher gain settings.  So 
if field recording means that you want to capture quiet sounds and ambiences 
you should go for the ULN-2.  There's also a good mailing list for users if 
you have questions.
