At this point, I'm leaning toward a Focusrite Sapphire Pro 40 with a Focusrite Octapre MkII Dynamic. It seems that a lot of people like this setup and, I found out a local friend of mine is using this setup with Sonar and is loving it.
This would seem to do what I need (16 channels), at a reasonable price. In fact, I could save even more money by going with the standard Octapre instead of the Octapre Dynamic.
If my budget were larger, that might change everything, of course. The Pro 40/Octapre, though, seems like a good, cost effective solution and, one that a lot of people are quite happy with.
Regardless of what I end up with, I love seeing what everybody else is using. Personally, I feel like there's not enough real information out there to help guide people on an interface purchase. This has been very helpful to me and, I hope to others. Thanks everyone for your responses!
Oh, and, feel free to keep the responses coming.... I haven't actually bought anything yet and, maybe it will be helpful to others, as well.
