Hi KLB. I looked up those studio monitors. They look nice and are powered. I would definitely get some sort of USB interface to plug your keyboard and laptop to and run the output of that to your speakers.

The PreSonus Audiobox looks like a better solution in your case than the Alesis. I guess it depends if you want to mix on a device or on a screen. Most of the popular interfaces just use on screen mixers now so you don't have to play with a big hunk of hardware.

These are fairly popular around here too and I use one as well.

Depending on how much gear you want to leave connected will help you decide how many channels you want. I have the big 18i20 so I can leave my keyboards, guitars, etc. always connected. If you are OK with few channels and just swapping cables, go with a small interface.
