If I were you, and assuming you should have the money, consider to test a RME Baybeface. OTOH I never used a Babyface myself and I don't know what ADAT device to use, to get enough channels. I own a Behringer ADA 8000, that I fortunately don't really need, since the audio quality isn't better than what the Focusrite provides, the PSU is a heater and the Focusrite already provides enough channels. However, for master mixing I try to avoid using the Focusrite, instead I use a RME PCIe card. IMO recording could be done using pro-sumer gear, but mixing with pro-sumer gear could be a PITA. I'm aware that if we are used to pro-sumer gear we know, we could do a good mix, but note, if we replace pro-sumer gear by other pro-sumer gear, it takes longer, more test mixings in the beginning, than we need to do, if we replace pro-sumer gear by professional gear.
