If possible, take your laptop to your dealer and test. You can set up
ALSA's module conf in advance, so you won't need to configure anything
in the shop. I'm recommending this, because I my tests I've found,
that the pairing of USB sound device, laptop hardware and low
latency/Jack is very sensitive. As you already have a midi device, you
can use a USB soundcard without Midi (most don't have midi anyways).
Some inexpensive devices I'd recommend to check out include the
similar looking Terratec Aureon USB, Audiotrak USB EX, 7.1 EX or 44.
The cheapest solution would be the Audiotrak Optoplay, which is well
supported, but a bit minimalistic (no recording). 

Make sure you do run jackd over USB with 48 kHz, too.

ciao
