24 channel I/O audio interface.. what should i buy?

[the19thbear]

I´m going to buy a 24 ch. I/O interface.. i dont know if it will be scope..
i have been looking at the MOTU cards ( motu 424) and the motu 24 I/O. they seem to be very good! but i´m very open for suggestions!
does anybody outh there have an opinion about what interfaces are good??
any suggestion?

thanks!!

the scope card is just a little bit higher priced or cheaper, depending on the ad/da box you use. the scope card also gives better routing, synths, mixing, effects, a modular and a sampler for good measure. the scope card's quality is better even with a behringer ada8000 converter, with an A16 it's light years better than the MOTU. do what you want to though, i know it's hard to break the programming that says that digi and MOtu's stuff is the "real' stuff and the other solutions are just playing at being serious....
