Also, I have had reason to have a portable interface. And when I'm at home, the Omega replaced my mixing board (all 8 inputs are active at once and go through a simple level only 8x4x2 onboard mixer). The Delta1010lt is probably a good bit lower latency, but if you don't need real time software effects, and if you don't need to record more than 4 tracks at once, and you don't need 96khz sampling, then most signs point towards the Omega. If I was going for a PCI card for home to use in the most straight forward manner, I would go for a Delta 66, and I would hunt on ebay for the best deal I could find. (just don't ask why I'm going with a Marian Marc 4 instead). And frankly, I'd be unlikely to buy any of the devices we've talked about new. I buy cables new. I buy things new if I need them more quickly than I can order them. I buy things new if they just can't be found for a good price used. But if I have time to wait for delivery, I always look for used first.
