I've just bought and configured an Edirol FA-66 with Ubuntu using the freebob driver, and it works well giving low latency ~5ms with virtually no xruns in Jack. I have only had it set up for one day though, so i haven't tested it extensively!
It has 6ins/6outs, with 2 mic pre-amps + phantom power and a built in Limiter. You can get one in the UK for 199 GBP , which I think fits your price range.
