Let's address the construction first. The EVO series are made from plastic and not metal. I've owned three Focusrite Scarlett series interfaces and these were made of metal. But, really, I've never needed the protection or ruggedness of metal - so the EVO 8's build material shouldn't ever be a problem for me.
thereafter, it's really easy - the features, the relatively low latency drivers, the EVO Software app - these are all excellent and, at this price point, put the EVO 8 at the top of any short list for consideration.
The audio quality sounds very, very clean - I've only used the unit for a few weeks, but so far, so good.
One minor caveat - be sure of your USB-C power and cabling - if you don't provide enough power, the EVO 8 cannot deliver phantom power to all four microphone preamps - so do your homework, and get the cabling right.
Happy to have purchased this.
