question about new audio interface for traveling purposes and good microphone suggestions

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I have been waiting until I really want to do some work before buying 
a new interface as my Digi 003 is rather large and it probably won't be 
supported much longer so I want to get something before that happenss.  I 
would like around 8 inputs that are preferabley the combo jacks that can 
take both XLR and quarter inch connections.  I am not set on a brand as 
long as I can effectively use it with Pro Tools 12 or higher.  I would 
like something that is easy to configure and can be taken places when I 
travel.  For my microphone suggestion I would like a microphone that is 
able to switch between picking up everything in a room and just around the 
front of it or is it better to buy two different microphones for this 
purpose?  Again I am not for any brand just as long as it is not one of 
those fall apart microphones and works well.  USB or thunderbolt 
connections probably thunderbolt is best as that is what the future is 
going to version two of thunderbolt or better probably is best but if it 
only supports version one that is fine I want to buy for the future. 
Anymore questions please ask.  I am going to look into a control surface 
as well would think it is best if that is not part of the interface and if 
there is one that has automated controls that move when Pro Tools moves 
the fadors and supports changing plugin settings that would be nice.  Nick
