Audio interface for home practise.

I am new to all this tech but I basically just want to be able to play songs in my room and have it sound like the band I’m playing, what interface would be good for this? Have heard the Scarlett 2i2 and Solo are a good choice but don’t really know the difference between the two? I feel like using amp sims is the cheaper option rather than spending thousands on amps and pedals when I’m only playing to myself at home.
