Suggestions in multiple interface setup...

Location: NYC
Genre: Raw Folk/Rock Indie (Think White Stripes meet Violent Femmes)
Computer: Intel Mac Pro Tower (Already Purchased)
DAW: Logic 7.2 (Already Purchased)
Budget: $10,000




I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this multiple interface setup. Obviously I would like to spend as little as possible while still attaining similar results. I'm wondering if you had any advice or areas to rethink in my situation. I am looking for a rig that has these variables:

1.High End independent 2 ch A/D conversion for overdubs/final mixdown
2.High End independent 2 ch D/A conversion
3.Good 8 ch A/D conversion
4.External Clock to run all gear seemlessly
5.Interface to Mac Pro (preferably firewire)

My proposed setup:

1. Lavry Blue 2ch A/D (allows for further expansion as funds increase)
2. Lavry Black DA-10 D/A
3. Lynx Aurora 8
4. Apogee Big Ben (is there a better clock that you guys know about?)
5. Presonus Firestudio (allows connection of all gear with firewire and allows me to route independent monitor mixes to its 8 outputs. It also allows for 8 extra inputs in a bind although they aren't the best.)

This solution comes out to be about: $7000


-Do you think this setup will be stable?
-Can I cut any corners while getting the same level of quality?
-Can the Lavry Blue Clock sync all this as well as the Big Ben?
-Can it be reasonably better with the extra $3000?


Thanks for your time. I hope this also helps out some other slutz out there.
