As a cubase/DP and RME user, it pains me to say this: Don't rule out a digidesign 001 or either 002 system. This is one of those retrospective "if i knew what i know now when i first got into this, and if they had created the 001 at that point, i should have gotten that and saved some money in the long run." It isn't exactly better, but it for sure is a complete package that will fit your requirements for the moment, and the price is actually pretty inexpensive for what you get.
Now, a multiface is a great i/o. I have no experience with the 828 mkII, but i feel it can't be worse than the original.
If you have to ask what monitors are good, you might as well go for the 624s. You'll use them a few years and develop a sense of what you like in a speaker. Then you can sell those and get something you actually like once you learn what to listen for. I don't care what people say, the first monitor experience is completely a shot in the dark. You need to develop a reference to base other speakers off of, so you might as well buy something somebody recommends. If you are currently using sparkomatics in a handmade box, any speaker will sound better, if you know what i mean.
