I see there are two Fireface models and as I said I don't need that many channels. Are they both identically except for the number of I/O? Do they sound the same?

As for the mono channel, nah, I'll probably go with a minimum of two channels. You'll never know when you want to mic a guitar with two mics or sing and and play at the same time.
The FF400 has fewer channels and is half rack and supposedly has some gimmick changes to the converter. Whether or not the changes are real or simply a marketing tool, you'll have to research yourself. There are a few threads on that topic. If you want to, you can even find a PCI card that simply does ADAT or AES/EBU. That way, you can use your money on some higher end conversion =]

here is the pacifica in sweden

However, don't take my opinion seriously on the pacifica. I don't have discerning experience with high end pres.
