A high quality Pre is the missing link in your chain, however, I love my digimax FS. I use it more as a utility pre but it is clean IMO and I have had good results. You mention the lack of depth in your mixes and using a variety of pre's (solid state and tube) and software comps during mixdown will help greatly. I don't believe you would perceive any noticeable difference from moving from the RME to the Steinberg.
