I think the Steinberg UR22 looks very interesting and it's way below your price. I haven't tried it so I can't recommend it, but it may be worth researching. It's a brand new model so it has the latest features, but that may also make it difficult to find a lot of reviews. I don't know how good the headphone out is. Most interfaces seem to have a headphone out but not an actual headphone amp.

Makes sense. Why are you avoiding a separate headphone amp? I don't think most interfaces are really focused on the power of the headphone output. It's usually just for easy-to-drive headphones. If you really want a powerful headphone amp, I would think you'd be better off with a separate unit that is focused on headphone performance.
