no idea about line 6. i know the scarlet 2i2 is good for the price. i believe steinberg is good as well although i did come across this which might be of note:

Not a true stereo interface

Wow - after purchasing (from a local retailer) I found out that the front inputs are mono. They are only stereo selectable if recording with a hard pan left and right and then playing it back in stereo. You cannot direct monitor in stereo. Needless to say my keyboard comes out in mono only through the interface when direct monitoring. Terrible design and nothing on their website indicates mono direct monitoring.

i think you are on the right track though in terms of what you're looking at. just look for what has the features...

i think you are on the right track though in terms of what you're looking at. just look for what has the features you want at the price you can afford. also do not forget to outfit your 2035 with a pop filter or windscreen, shock mount and boom as these can help out as well.

When I ordered the mic it actually came with a pop filter and I bought a rhode studio mic stand the mic came in its all set up I just have to get the interface now
