TBH I don't think I've ever seen a PC interface that WOULDN'T work with Sonar if it works with other daws. They all should, and if there are problems, you can be pretty sure other daws are having the same or similar issues with that hardware. The only reported interface problems are across the board.
Aside from the FW fiasco that happened awhile back, which I've been immune to BTW because I chose my cards wisely, there have only been a few issues with companies like Alesis and similar who put out a few less than stellar interfaces/drivers out there. Even in those cases many were able to make them work regardless with alternate drivers and work arounds. No one really wants to go that route though.
We may be seeing some similar complications with Thunderbolt meshing well with PC. Having said that, there are many happy users of those setups too. If you get it right, there usually aren't issues.
I'm glad to hear the usb twin is working well. It is a bit more costly, but worth it if you only track a few at a time plus you get all of the extra access to their great plug ins. People have moved from Focustrite to Apollo and that's saying something.
I'm one of those guys that needs a major short circuit to probably trade up soon, but I've been watching these and they really caught my attention. When the day comes, Apollo will get a serious look.
