8 input audio interface (8-track machine to computer)

I need an 8 input audio interface to transfer over recorded stuff from my Fostex R8, an 8-track machine.
I have a 4 input audio interface currently and I've done some transfers to the computer but I have to transfer only 4 tracks at a time. So I then have to manually align the tracks which isn't the most fun of jobs.

I have a couple of options:
1. I could buy a new 8 input audio interface
2. I could buy another Akai EiE Pro (My current 4 track audio interface) and make an aggregate device which would link them up so I can have 8 inputs

Which way would be better?

If I were to buy a new 8 input interface, it would have to be compatible with my Fostex outputs, which are RCA (I do of course have 8 RCA to TS cables to plug into my console).

Any of you guys have a recommendation for an 8 track interface?
 
If you can find a Tascam US1800 - they're still around, but the model has been discontinued - it'll be your best budget bet.
 
I picked up 2 Zoom R 24's on Craigslist for about $200 ea so keep an eye open there too.
