I've heard equally bad things about every manufacturer of budget audio gear, including Focusrite (and hell I've heard better samples of Behringer's UMC stuff). And from what I've seen Behringer stuff holds it's own against Focusrite for a much cheaper price. I don't think the Solo 2i2 is any better than a UMC204HD is, and at the very least Focusrite's onboard preamps are no better than Behringer's onboard MIDAS preamp.
We're also not talking about sub $150 stuff. We're talking about stuff around $200 (for the Behringer, or Tascam 16x08) or around $500 for the higher end things mentioned.
