Novation nio 2|4 - cheaper than your budget and I've had nothing but good results.

Recently I took a TonePort UX1 (Line 6) to complement my Macbook while on the go.
I was amazed by the sound and possibilities. Although a more Guitar/Bass/Vocals interface (uses dedicated software and no plug-in) the possibilities are so great that I nearly decided to hook it to my iMac instead of the FCA202 (FW) that I use now (so that I can get rid of the external mixer I got, because FCA202 has only Line inputs)

- Best

100% agree.
UX1 is an amazing audio interface with great effects for guitar/bass.
My only complain, the volume from headphone output is a bit low.

Same here and so far so good.
