M-Audio! Revolution or Audiophile?

I've firmly decided I'll be getting one of the two cards, for one reason especially: ASIO2 drivers for pro-audio programs!
But the difference between the two is $75 Canadian... any suggestions as one to the other?
I think the Audiophile has enhanced Windows DX drivers that the Revolution may lack, the Revolution has higher quality.
The Audiophile comes with some demo software.... argh.
 
I would get the Audiophile over the Revolution. I've owned both (currently have the Audiophile) and the Revo is not really designed for multitrack recording, more like for recording your old LPs or just playing music. I use WDM drivers in Sonic Foundry Vegas, and the Audiophile was much more stable than the Revo in this aspect (not sure about ASIO2). What pissed me off about the Revo's design is 1) the line-in is just a 1/8" minijack instead of discrete L/R, and 2) it's right next to the line-out so I couldn't plug a Rat Shack stereo splitter into it (blocked the line-out jack).
 
Thanks. The more I thought about it, it's worth the $75Cdn to get the Audiophile. For the pro-audio stuff as well as enhanced WDM drivers. It's a just plain better card. And proper MIDI ports too!
Better included software, music stuff instead of games.
