I have an old FireWire Duet and it’s been great. Served it’s purpose very well. I went through a Focusrite Saffire Pro 26 and now use a UA Apollo Twin X, with a Focusrite Octopre feeding it another eight channels over ADAT. I have to say the Apollo is amazing. Expensive, but the software is really excellent. The ability to track through preamps etc with no latency is a great boon, and the preamps, EQs and compressors sound top notch to me.
If you don’t need loads of processing power or expansion the Arrow is a great choice. If you just need one or two high quality inputs the Duet is also great. No experience of that new entry level SSL interface but does also seem well suited to a guitarist recording themselves.
