I was thinking about getting the Caldigit 2 dock. Have you been happy with it? My application was to go from my MBP 2011 TBolt first edition to Caldigit 2 dock. Esata out to an SSD for capture ProRes LT from a BM Ultrastudio mini recorder that is connected from the Tbolt loop through on the Caldigit. Use the HDMI out to feed a BM HDMI to SDI adapter to feed a broadcast switcher for quick playback for live event. Your thoughts? 1080i 59.94

2011 MBP has a 1TB SSD for system drive but only a single first get Tbolt port…arrgh
