Control surface Options

Im In the process in setting up another studio, I like to have a set up able to accommodate Logic, pro tools, and Sonar if needed 
I would consider the V-700 but for $4500 it would not be practical ,and its Sonar only ,  I was thinking Mackie Control, for $1200 and Rme 800 $1600 or maybe a less expensive Audio interface, This room Im setting up is more or less for interns wanting to learn to record, either Midi/vst or live instruments,. Any suggestions?

    And it's Sonar only. That's not what the literature says. I'm all for Sonar. The DAW world is battling. It's choice of how fluent you are in integrating systems. How fluent you are in understanding the different DAW systems. As a comparison, try to teach your interns how to integrate two other well known DAW systems. It won't get any easier.

    My only issue is protools and finding a suitable interface , for all, Pro tools , Logic, and Live, The Mackie Control seems the way to go, as far control surface,
     where I live all the studio's and Producer's I know either use Logic if there recording Dance, and Protools for Pop < Hip hop & RnB and for live music everyone I know use's pro tools.. I use sonar So My setup is there if needed 
     so if anyone could give me suggestions on audio interfaces awesome.. 
     The purpose of this is to have a place for a few to learn and some to rent to pay rent, and a place to jam . 
     If I was to stay with sonar only I would have 1 person, Me . So this is why I setting up another system.
