I agree with what Rudy said. As with many things in life, the more tasks a device claims to do, often they do none of them well.
As far as archaic displays, many dedicated, quality interfaces have NO displays. I am currently learning a new Zoom L8, and it seems a perfect fit for a home acoustic studio. It does interface with my mac (and iPad) but I still prefer my Audient box for that. The display is small, and basic, but it conveys the info it needs quite well. For interface use, it really just shows the status. Most on the fly data you need will be on your DAW screen anyway.
From what I gather in your posts, a Zoom livetrack series mixer/recorder might work well for you. tascam makes a Model 12 that is similar, but a little more pricey.
Edit: oops, your last post just popped up, and it seems you are far beyond my feeble observation! Im sure my envy is shared with others on the AGF! Who wouldnt want to caravan around a beautiful country, recording music?! Please post links to your page when underway!
