Phonics are about the worst mixers made... build quality terrible sound quality terrible. They make behringer look good. Thats not a good thing. Your going to be taking a major step down.

If your front-end is tempermental, its most likely the interface and not the Octane. I'd get something else with ADAT, and keep your Octane.
I've had good luck internally with the EMU stuff, for mac users the Motu 8pre is another one worth looking at. and Of course theirs the Presonus Firestudio at 700 and that can do up to 26 I/O VIA ADAT.
