Right.  In particular, the Sony phantom power box is the same price  
(and roughly the same weight) as a MixPre, but without the preamp  
part!  And if you don't want to use a Mixpre for some reason, a Rolls  
224 plus a 2XLR-mini cable will provide the same functionality for  
-7db the price of the Sony unit.
