People bitch about driver issues on the NI Komplete 6 though. But at the same time, those who can get it to work seem to love it.

I had a USBpre 2 (http://www.sounddevices.com/products/usbpre2). I basically over paid for a two channel audio interface that broke in a year. Because OMG WE HAS TEH BEST PREAMPS IN TEH BIZ!

Don't get sucked into marketing like that. As long as the preamps aren't complete poo poo, you'll do fine. It's pretty trivial to get a high quality 2 or 4 channel interface for under 200 bucks.

I wound up replacing it with a Roland QuadCapture and I couldn't be happier: http://www.rolandus.com/products/details/1166

Also, if you buy an audio interface with XLR/TRS combo jacks don't expect to be able to plug a guitar (or anything that requires an instrument cable) into it unless it's specifically labeled as a hi-Z (high impedance) interface. It will clip like a motherfucker and you will never be able to get a clean recording off of it. The main complaint people have about the Focusrite interfaces stems from their inability to properly comprehend product specifications. They have combo jacks but cannot be used for instruments.

The focusrite stuff is class compliant. Meaning it works without drivers. I might just grab one to play with.
