2 channels Focusrite/Presonus vs 8 channels Zoom?

[mactreouser]

Hi,
It is a plus to grab a well known Focusrite/Presonus 2 channels audio interface over Zoom 8 Channels?

Hi,
Can you give us the model names?
I mean, obviously if you need > 2 channels at once the answer is no, but it's entirely possible for some two channel interface to have better preamps/converters/headphone amps/drivers etc than some other with 8 channels.

Say, USD300. What would you recommend for 2 channels interface? And USD500 for 4 channels' ?

This seems impossible? ?
