[maxmsp] [OT] Opinion request for mid-range soundcard with 8 analog balanced outputs

This is for a sound installation not for extensive touring, and money  
matters for the organizers therefore a more affordable solution is  
requested.

I have also updated my list:
Possible choices are:
- Presonus FireStudio Project
- Tascam FW 1804
- Echo AudioFire 8
- Echo Layla 3G
- Alesis iO/26
- Focusrite Saffire Pro 10
- E-mu 1820m
... other suggestion?
