USB audio interfaces

What are people using for audio interfaces now, I have a M-Audio Firewire 4/10 but I live in the PC world now. I have been looking at Focusrite, PreSonous, Behringer, the issue I am finding is that I cant find anything that has 6 or more analogue outputs. how are others doing this?

I've always been a fan of MOTU stuff. I'm still using a pair of firewire 828mk2 interfaces from 2004. The Ultralite MK3 is an older interface but still has USB, good driver support, 8 analogue outs (10 if you use the headphones and 12 with the s/pdif)

If any of the interfaces you're looking at have ADAT output, you can use something like the Behringer ADA8200 to get 8 additional analogue outputs (although it's an extra box to lug around)

I have almost been moved to write a love ballad in the past for the RME devices. Stable, fast and great sonically.

Thanks for the posts
I rented a Focusrite scarlet 2i4 to try it out.
