That option sounds more "future proof" to me as well, John.

Although I'd likely just keep the good old Delta installed in the good old machine with its good old OS running as long as possible. Use it for backup, or a separated MIDI synth/sampler machine, audio editing and such tasks.

And, should the need ever arise where I might need multiple inputs and outputs for something in future as yet unforeseen.

As far as the big box DAW concept goes, you might also seriously consider a fair to middlin' good quality laptop and a USB recording device. I've been moving in that direction for the last few years and like it.
