I remember looking at the Yamaha you mentioned during my research and the issue with it is that it sends the first two channels direct to the computer as a stereo feed, thus your mic will only appear on one side. Though the same thing happens with most interfaces unless you use a split. Also it sends the signal without processing. Depending on what you're looking for that product may work for you - you really have to trace the block diagrams carefully and mark out the signal paths you're interested in.
If you don't mind an analog aux the Alto ZMX862 also works, though quality is questionable. Both of these options also don't let you monitor the aux send. I think the cheapest option that allows that is the Soundcraft Notepad-8FX which was on my shortlist.
In the end I went with a commercial audio DSP (got mine for around $50 on ebay) and programmed it myself, see my other post here for more info [1].
