Octamic XTC is very flexible if your budget would allow.
All 8 mic inputs can be also used for balanced connections.
When being used with a TS plug then the 1st four inputs have PAD to dampen strong signals and the last 4 (!!) inputs can be used as Instrument Input. This would reduce efforts in spending much money and cables and having all this stuff to place somewhere.
It offers on top 2 phones outputs to monitor any incoming signals from any inputs (Mic/Line, ADAT, AES, MADI).
These unbalanced outputs can even be used to connect near field speakers if needed.
It also offers class compliant mode to be used directly with Windows or for ie an iPAD based recording solution.
4 AES inputs and outputs can be used to connect or clock other studio equipment.
Or you can connect digital speakers to it or expand the solution later with reference grade ad/da conversion with an ADI-2 Pro FS.
ADAT I/O is also provided.
And you can later even use it in a larger setup as it also has MADI I/O.
This box is so flexible, you can even use it as format converter.
If you have the possibility then I would use that as it's worth every cent.
As a strategy I recommend more flexible and intelligent solutions that later easily can be integrated into a larger context like expansion of solutions via either ADAT or MADI.
A nice combination for the future could be for you ie MADIface and the XTC.
With a MADI solution and fiber cables you are not so limited to separate ie PC from recording room as cables can be up to 2 km long and compared to ADAT MADI allows you to record via multiplexing still 32 channels at 96 kHz.
I would go into that direction. Starting with the XTC now connected to the BBF.
Later you can replace BBF against MADIface and much later add ADI-2 Pro FS.
This way each component can stay for a "lifetime" and gives you best performance and flexibility in many scenarios.
This is better than buying and selling and rebuying and selling and so on.
You save money by not loosing money and have fun by directly working with the better equipment.
Also from operational perspective the XTC is top with its display and menu structure.
