Home recording and Hercules 16/12 FW - HELP?

Hi ..I am looking to set up my new laptop (powerbook G4 17") to be able to record my 3 piece punk band. I will be using Logic Express.

I want to be able to record drums with bass simultaneously before adding guitar/vocals etc..so...ie. 6-8 mics on drums..and one on bass guitar recording at the same time. - possibly recording a guide vocal track also at the same time.

Tascam FW-1082 or PreSonus Firepod

Tascam FW-1082 or PreSonus Firepod
I am looking for a Digital interface with Mic preamps and firewire, that's both reasonable and good sounding (Is there such a device?)

Any thoughts on the above mentioned interfaces or other ones like them, in the same price range will greatly appreciated?

Thank you so much,

fw=1884 vs firepod/Mackie control combo

I posted this in DAW/Computing but havnt had any responses, so i thought id try it here.

Which way would you go and why?

I want a control surface for nuendo 2 and i need a new sound card. My budget is $1500 +/-

i was also looking at the Yamaha 01x which seems impressive on paper but looks kinda scary ( i noticed they dropped the price on this about $500.)
