Hi, I have a Focusrite 18i20 with 8 mic channels and I would like to add another 8. I was interested in Focusrite octopre, but recently it has increases in price by 150% and is priced as my interface. Would the Phonic FireFly ADA8 or Behringer ADA8200 Ultragain do the job or should I just go for the Focusrite octopre? Do they have enough gain, reasonably low noise and over-all good quality? I intend to use this to add channels to the drums by adding triggers to use them to trigger gates and for spot mics for toms.
 
I just added an ADA8200 to my FireFace UCX via ADAT Lightpipe, and I'm impressed. Low noise, clean preamps with a respectable amount of gain. For the money, it'd be hard for me to recommend anything else.
