Recommend a Midi Box Connector?

[PeterHanes]

You just need a MIDI Thru box (one MIDI In port, at least two or three MIDI Thru ports) such as those discussed in the following topic:

MIDI Thru box

Does anyone have experience with the MIDI Solutions T8? It looks like one of the few MIDI thru boxes remaining in existence that has more than four ports. The only thing that worries me is that it is MIDI powered. I think this is really cool because in no way do I need more things to plug into outlets but I am just concerned for the stability of the power. I plan to go from OT out -> MD in, MD thru -> MIDI box, then out to the rest of my synths. Any idea if the Machinedrum can power this box?
