Eight-in is, as you noted, one of the standard sizes. Who are those
8-input interfaces for? Mostly people in smaller bands -- not everyone has
a horn section or multiple backing vocalists. Count 4 inputs for the
drumkit, one for the bass, one for keyboard and two for guitars; for most
bands that would let you track most of your instruments in a single pass,
then do vocals one at a time.

Along with the other recommendations from this group, you might look at
products from Presonus.

Many interfaces offer an ADAT port in addition to the analog inputs, so
that one can connect another interface or or preamp with ADAT output to
get to 16 inputs, and the Metric Halo kit will also accept an AES intput
to make for 18 inputs.

PreSonus and MOTU are affordable candidates here.
