Talking First Mobile setup - Ivory, Soundcraft, TC, Digimax or what??

Hi everybody.
I've been reading a few things from the mobile recording forum, cuz I'm in need of a recording rig, in the Medium budget.

I'm tracking on a macbook pro with a FW harddisk with logic 9. That's not the problem. I'm having a hard time choose what to buy.
I already own the TC studio Konnekt 48, which I'm quite satisfired with.

That's 4 mic pres already.
I need 8 mic pres and a Adat in as well to get 20 track in.
Mics is not a problem right now, but I intend to track a whole band, rock/pop/indie style in rehearsal rooms and where ever it's possible. Lead vocals and such is always going to be recorded at my home studio with a Tube tech or greatriver pre. I've got the Behringer Headphone amp as well, with 3-5 sets of headphones...

I'm okay with low end gear, but I'm going for used equipment as the value is much higher. The things I'm looking at right now in the used marked in Denmark is:

Using my TC SK 48 with:
Soundcraft Mic/Line interface 8 channel pre
Soundcraft - [Products]

Presonus Firestation 8 ADAT in, with 8 mic pres. I'll just use it as a standalone 8 Adat interface - It's really cheap here in Denmark - used 230dollars (does this unit have as good preamps as in the Digimax?)
PreSonus

I'm thinking of breaking the bank and going for a used ati 8mx2, but it's way over my budget.

Any advice or ideas before I go for the Soundcraft pre / Presonus Adat route?

There's al a few TL audio Ivory 5001 4 channel strip and 2 channelstrip on the used marked in Denmark. As there better than Soundcraft/presonus? I could get 8 channels of TL Audio ivory 5001 for 800 dollars as preamps for the TC interface.
