Get the 828mkii- you have 2 built in pres plus 8 more analog ins that you can use the inserts of your mixer- then get the behringer 8ch w/adat- that will give you 18 inputs, more than enough for live- that will set you back only 1K and the sound will be good enough for live work

later on, when you get more cash,  get 2 primo pres and a rosetta or lucid Ad where you can go to the 828 via spdif-  that will give you 2 premium pres for studio recording plus 2 premium pres you can also use live- like primo overheads-  The Ad will set you back between $500- $1200, depending what you buy and if you buy used or new.  It will also add 2 inputs to your live rig bringing it up to 20-

I've heard both apogee and lucid- they both sound good- I kinda like the rosetta better but that's my taste- also I appreciate the built in limiter in he rosetta to prevent digital overs-  If you get an used 48/98 rosetta it shouldn't be much over $700-
then 2 channels of premium pres will run you anywheres $1200 and up- so for 2K more or less you should have a great front end for vocals, solo instruments and o'dubs- (plus 2 great live channels!)

Then later on go for upgrading your pres for live and you won't be stuck with stuff you can't get rid of or lose you ass on- the behringer is only $200 or so and if when you update your live conversion and pres later on and you only get $50 back, who cares, you got your moneys worth out of it already-
