A good fit if…

Fits your setup.

Its monitoring and computer connection fit your workflow.
You want to keep microphones, headphones and cables in the same setup calculation.

Consider another option if…

Do not overbuy.

The simultaneous input or monitoring requirement is larger than the documented capability.

You are choosing mainly by the number of sockets without checking what each channel can do.
