If £120 is the upper limit then I don't know of any, it would be quite a limiting budget I think.
If you can go a bit higher I'd go for the Zoom UAC-2 if I was in your position. I'm guessing that since you have a Kemper and an iMac, the extra 50 quid wouldn't put you in to hardship and I think you'd be getting something much better than you can for under £120.

Does it accept 2 line level inputs? (i.e. can the mic input take a line level and would it be matched with a line going in to the instrument input?)
Also see that the "direct monitoring" seems to be a button, would that not mean that he could either hear the Kemper or the backing track but not both at the same time?
But you're right, the Solo doesn't have 2 line level inputs, so if the intention was to have the backing track into one input and the guitar into another, then you'd need something else (e.g. the Focusrite 2i2, Steinberg UR22 etc).
The direct monitoring switch on my Solo (1st gen) switches direct monitoring on for both inputs, so I assume this (on the 3rd gen) would do the same.
He could go for the solo if he wanted to sacrifice all the stereo effects in the Kemper, would be up to him if it was worth it to save some money.
I think that will do everything you want. I had been thinking of selling mine since I very rarely record at home any more, but I'm probably not going to, because...
A 2009 will have a mic input - my 2011 does. My 2017 doesn't though, so presumably no future ones will either and I'll need it.

Do you know of there is much of a difference between second & third generation?
This is very much of a new learning curve for me.
