Which sound card to buy?

Microbook II has 5.6 ms input/out ("roundtrip") latency according to Jamkazam's Audio Configuration Report (press option-$ft-R on Mac):

Excellent: Less than 5 ms
Average: 5 - 9 ms
Poor: Greater than 9 ms


After the latest MacOS update, the Microbook needs to be replaced. And now I need "excellent" latency for my session.

Quest: a new portable sound card for $200-300, with less than 5 ms roundtrip latency.

I tried Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen, but I got around 12 ms, "poor".
Same thing with Steinberg UR22 MkII, around 12 ms.

Does anyone have info on roundtrip latency for different sound cards?
This info is oddly hard to find. 
Everyone talks about their "zero latency monitoring", which is something else altogether.

I've heard good things about Presonus, the Studio 24c and 26c for example.

Lots of info here:
