The Boss GT-1000 is whoa?? How much? I'm sure it'll do a grand job but it's a good chunk of the price of a Helix (which is what I'm leaning towards at the moment). I'm also not that keen on the form factor for use as an audio interface and would much rather a rack mountable unit. TBH even if I was gigging I'd still probably want a rack unit.
The Axe FX II, well, yeah, as I said before I don't really have the money and I couldn't really justify the price if I did.
I can buy an ex-Demo Helix with full guarantee for £900 so I'll probably bide my time for a few months and pull the trigger at the right time - maybe prices will have fallen a bit by then, who knows?
Thanks for the input though, it's all appreciated.

Bit of trading feedback here.
I've also got a budget PreSonus iTwo audio interface and use that. The iTwo is always connected to the computer via one USB port. The monitors and headphones are always connected to the iTwo and volumes and gain levels are easily and quickly controlled with knobs on the front. The keyboard is connected to the iTwo using a MIDI cable rather than tying up a second USB port.
The iTwo also supports connecting mics that use XLR connectors and will supply them with phantom power. The GT-100 won't do that.
If I'd only had the GT-100, I think I'd find it just too hard to do any recording. It has most of the features of an audio interface, but they're just not user friendly enough for me. If nothing else, I can keep the GT on my board all the time and only connect it to the recording setup when I'm tracking guitar parts.
