Mbox 3 is consumer level interface, the C24 is a nice control surface and presumably it has some good/great preamps. Forget the Mbox, get something beefier for I/O. Sounds like your budget is fairly high, I might go for the Apogee Symphony I/O if I were you.
My recommendation is based on the recommendations of others on audio forums across the internet. So really...all I can recommend without hesitation is that the mbox 3 has gotta go. At the very least, look for an interface that has enough I/O to cover your C24 inputs.
