It'll work fine as a DI.
I have an Avalon U5, and Matt J has a Radial JDI, and when reamping, we couldn't hear any difference between tracks recorded with one or the other. We didn't try a punch in with them (we'd probably hear a slight difference there), but for leads cut on one or the other we couldn't hear a difference.
I think any quality DI will fine, you don't need the $500 Avalon, or $1,000 Manley. I can't say for certain the quality of the DI in the Strobo, but it's quite believable that it's better than what's in the Focusrite.
