I'm still grappling with recording, but I think you are comparing two completely different work flows here.
The Scarlett 2i2 is a neat preamp which can give excellent results (it's what I use, for what it's worth), but you'll need a couple of decent microphones to plug into it and a computer and DAW software which it sends signals to.
My understanding is that the Tascam is a fairly sophisticated portable recorder, which has everything in the box. I'm not familiar with it, but I've used other portable recorders, including the Zoom H2 which can also double as a stereo microphone if you do have a computer and DAW, and the results for me were not up to even the entry level separate preamp like the Scarlett.
