I think the advice immediately above is very good, but take it a bit further. If you think you only need two mic pre inputs now, you might want to consider a minimum of four, because, as you progress, you will probably find yourself needing more rather than few inputs.

Secondly, I would consider something that uses Thunderbolt 3/4 as its connection protocol. The speed of Thunderbolt will, with properly designed hardware, go a long way to drastically reducing or effectively eliminating latency, which, when there's too much of it, can make it difficult or impossible to play along with yourself, or any pre-recorded track.

Finally, determine if you're likely to get further into more high or higher end recording and if so, does something with a more comprehensive system behind it make sense. That's what pushed me toward Universal Audio's Apollo series, which, even though more expensive than some of the others, ended up being a better value for me than anything else.

And it goes without saying, so I'lll say it anyway - you absolutely need a good, reliable monitoring system or a really great set of headphones to be able to hear what you've spent so much time recording. Not unlike needing to have a good calibrated monitor for editing your photos in Photoshop or Lightroom.
