They changed the neck geometry on the '64, the VP is more like a vintage 60s. I'm absolutely in love with the VP 760 pickups (the 64s are good to but the 760s win by a hair). The '64 overall have beefier dimensions and feel less svelte than the VP and the 1960s originals, the '64s in general are heavier as well. Also I think the fret work is better on the VP than the MIC '64. Despite all.that I did buy a Ember Red '64, I do like the fake MOP dots 😁😎
I absolutely agree… the 64 MIC feels somehow different… so the Ember Red 64 had to stay in his bag last Friday…

My new interface is a 4th generation Focusrite Scarlett 18i16. I bought my Saffire Pro40 in 2010 and it still works today as an additional 8 ins/outs to the Scarlett.
Ok. I followed that link and did a bit more research from there. The 4th gen Focusrite apparently can do what I want, including charging the iPad while recording, with recent upgrades a few months ago. With a correct hub. I will call my SW guy Jonathon, and make sure. I’ll likely go with the simpler 212 to start.

Cool! Yeah the 2i2 will work great for what you're doing.
