For our application the mixer part was useful too - or so we thought. But it only has 4 auxes, 2 hard-wired as post fader. The buttons are small and their travel is small - not easy to see what's pressed in low light in a gig (maybe a minor point!). It might still be the cheapest way to get 16 balanced mic/line -> firewire.
The Alesis IO-26 + 1 or 2 Behringer ADA8000's is fairly cheap. It's just an interface, but might be quieter. Many people recommend the RME fireface but it's quite a bit more expensive.
Do you need 16 channels? (We did - drums, singers, instruments etc.). If only 8 you've more choice, e.g. Edirol FA-101.
It comes with a cut-down freebie cubase, which I've not tried. I've only used Cakewalk Sonar 5.2 with it.
