The 802 seems the best deal for the price, tons of connectivity.

There is also the RME Babyface Pro USB . It's has 12 in and 12 out , it has the adat in and out too ... $749 . Pretty nice little unit , like the Apogee Duet on steroids ....

Yup looks that way. Especially considering I don't want to change interfaces for at least 5-8 years if I can help it.

The Babyface Pro is nice but just not enough i/o for my general sessions.

Going to price shop the 802 a bit and see if I can't find an open box or something.

Thanks for all the help!

Where are you finding those prices? Just curious :)

Just a quick mention that RME just released a new interface that gets excellent reviews:

Update:

Actually I meant this one:

... which is almost double your budget.

If you want to spend about that, and then spend about that in plugins you could always go UAD apollo. :hihi:

Been using a MOTU 24IO/PCIe on PC for around nine years now.
24 ins - 24 outs.
Can't say anything about their support because TBH, I've yet to ever need it.
Works great and picked it up new during a sale with an additional discount.
