I need some advice on which audio interface to get.

I'm a new member of this site, though I have been a regular reader for some time now.

I'm putting together a small home studio.

I plan to record mainly myself, (bass and keyboards), and also various other people that I plan on collaborating with, guitarists and sax player etc.

I've used a Tascam portastudio for ages (a bit of a museum piece I know), but that's now packed up.

I've got a Mac G5, and I'll be using garageband to start off with, I'll probably get Logic 8 express in a few weeks when I've got everything else together.
I've used Logic many times over the last few years, it seems to be the software of choice for commercial studios in this area.

I've decided on a pair of KRK Rockit 5's as monitors, I've heard them and I like the sound.

What I'm having a problem with is the audio interface, I seem to be spoiled for choice, and the various manufacturers all seem to make promises with regard to the quality of their products , promises that don't seem to be actually fulfilled when I read reviews of products on this site.

I want a good quality sound, and really need to have no more than 4 inputs (at the same time), most of the time it'll just be me, so I could really just live with 2 channels, I'm not planning on doing any 'live' recording.

What I've been looking at are the following -

Digidesign Mbox 2
Mbox 2 mini

You get protools LE with these which seems to be a bonus.

Presonus solo
Presonus inspire
Apogee Duet
Edirol FA-66
Edirol UA-25
M-audio fast track pro
M--audio firewire 410

I'm not particularly bothered whether the device is firewire.

My budget is about £350.
