Another thought to consider is to get an HX Stomp which has an very high quality Audio Interface, plus contains all the same firmware amps, cabs, fx, as available via Helix Native, all in one small box. And, via HX Edit you can access and control the HX Stomp directly via USB from your computer screen with the luxury of the full HX Edit visual display. Alternatively, use the HX Stomp solely as an Audio Interface, and it's headphone jack (if you wish for Zero Latency monitoring of your guitar). Plus, purchasing an HX Stomp which is currently on sale from Line 6 and many resellers, you are also entitled to a significantly discounted price on Helix Native, so it may be an ideal way to go. As @silverheadjust posted, do your research! Happy Holidays.
