So long as its a basically simple interface i find you don’t need to worry about the software fort being accessible. If the DAW like logic can force the interface to accepts its bit depth/sample rate which most modern interface will accept the only other reason to go into the control software is to turn on phantom power or the high pass filter. However plenty of interfaces have these as hardware buttons on the unit so just make sure features like those are accessible to you on the front of the unit. If those features are accessible on either of the interfaces that you are looking at, then you should be fine.
