avalon are only for mono instruments, guitars, vocals.
I need something like 2 API 512's but i dont have a budget for it. is there anything that will give me at least close to that quality for a smaller price?

No, you don't need API pres for your keyboards. At most you might need direct injection boxes. Radial makes some real nice ones, and they're rugged as all get out. Try this one: JDI Duplex Mk4 stereo direct box, going for $350 US at Sweetwater.

If he uses a DI box he WILL need a Mic Pre...

If you're responding to me go back and re-read what I said. He doesn't need preamps for the line level outputs of the keyboards. He should plug them right into the Rosetta. Then again with the Rosetta 200 all there are are two channels so he'll be doing a lot of plugging and unplugging. Preamps are the least of his worries.
