I moved up from a first gen 2i4, primarily for the additional inputs. This makes it easy to have things plugged in semi-permanently without having to do a bunch of unplugging when switching instruments/mics. The plugins they have for free every month are a nice bonus, though really, they're generally teasers of larger product lines. It's a great bonus if you don't have a large VST effect/instrument library, though.

Things are working as intended, and drivers are no problem. I like it!

Lots of inputs, easy to use

I have a 2i2 that I liked and wanted to use more mics/DIs. I also wanted to use this as a standalone so I can use my studio monitors with my PS4. I could not get it to work using the TOSLINK so I emailed tech support. They told me the PS4's TOSLINK uses optical SPDIF out which the 18i20 doesn't support. A ($) "S/PDIF TOSLINK to Coaxial converter" fixed this though. 
Very nice quality.The reduced latency is really nice too. Amp sims "feel" better when playing them live as opposed to my first gen 2i2. Can't wait to try it with a full drum kit!

Great interface

Really liking this.  I've got 8 drum mics hooked in, and it works flawlessly with Logic.  I'm getting great recordings from it, noticeably cleaner than my old Alesis multimix I used for years.
