Thread sound card

hey guys

I'm in the process of deciding which sound card do i want to upgrade to.

I have 1000$ - and there are 4 main contenders. in two types of cards:

Rack type:

1.) https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/896mk3/

2.) https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MR816CSX/

"Console" type:

1.) https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MultiMix16U2/

2.) https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Onyx1620i/

My demands are 8+ pre amps - hi-z input(S) - and the best converters and pre amps, and also the interface obviously. DSP is less relevant, and without any special output.

What should I choose?

i will note that i work with a MIDI controller at the moment - and there is the possibility of selling it and buying the console type - but I don't have to because i have the "vintage feel" of faders and knobs.

i will appreciate your fast comment - it is pretty argent (:

thanks!
