Get both, a firewire mixer. I've got the Phonic Helix. The audio signals are tapped right after the trim knobs to go to the converters and on to the computer. The rest is just like a small format mixer.
 
I would buy an older mackie vlz pro (like a 1602 or 1604) with the 300 and save for an 8 channel interface.

It good to have a mixer for monitoring as well as mixing.

You can always use a mixer. Hell, you could still record to a VCR from the mixer main buss. A VCR is dirt cheap these days.
 
then that would be the one i would go with. i am gonna get one.....
