RME or MOTU

So I was completely set on getting an RMEfireface because it seems like hands down the best interface on the market when trying to balance features sound quality and price. My plan for my front end was to start out with this interface using the existing pre's as they seem to be pretty top notch for being on an all in one interface,and suplimenting with my Yamaha board if I need extra inputs.

Hi all I'm looking for a new Sound card option I currently have the MOTU 1224 which is ok but only suports 48 sample rate.

Im looking for 8 TRS analog inputs at 96 khtz. I want to begin at mixing DVD material and also improve my all audio creations.
