Focusrite has some really great options. I would at least give them a look. I just bought a 2nd gen Scarlett 18i8. The drivers are great. Latency is much better than my Motu Audio Express.
It's so weird how different people with different systems can have such different experiences... My Focusrite 2nd gen has had nothing but terrible driver issues. I've tried all of the possible drivers available from Focusrite including the beta ones... Nothing but problems on Windows 7 64bit. Currently looking into buying an interface from another company that will be like 5 times the price, just because I'm being told by everyone I speak to that there's no way I'm going to run into more driver issues. I'm so sick of my Focusrite, it actually stops me from wanting to make music because I know I'm going to run into an issue.
