Save up another $100 and get an iD14 instead. 1 input is severely limiting. And no room for ADAT expansion. If you could record both inputs simultaneously $200 might make sense. Lack of that optical input for future expansion is a deal breaker for me though.
It is possible to record both inputs at once, the iD4 is a 2 in, 2 out interface which means its great for recording a guitar and vocals at the same time. You could at a push, also record a stereo synth using the two inputs with a bit of careful gain matching between the two channels. You can then pan the inputs using the new Monitor Pan feature to put them far left and far right.
We couldn't quite squeeze an optical input and the added circuitry into the little iD4 through I'm afraid. As you mentioned, there is always the iD14 and iD22 if you require more I/O on your interface. The iD4 was designed for singer/songwriters or for quickly recording ideas down.
