Original Audigy 2 ZS drivers or Audigy 4's?

Is there any benifit by going with the hacked Audigy 4 drivers and software over the originals?

The ones from driverheaven.
 
"Almost" being the key word. The 4 schtuff is more similar to the 2 than the 2 to the 1 anyway. Some report it is more responsive/quicker to open and such... but then some also claim better sound which is a bit far fetched. I was almost ready to try it out meself since the 2 on a 1 worked so well, but my current 2 ZS is trouble free and by some accounts the 4 software on it is not (although others seem content). I would be more keen if I could get an unmessed with 4 image and "hack" its setup and driver update setup myself rather than relying on kooky modded packages claiming to employ setup profiles for better game or music sound, etc.
 
YES, use the driverheaven packs. There's a HUGE improvement in sound quality over teh official drivers. I am currently using the PAX New Year's Drivers on my ZS with the latest Creative Doom3 EAX drivers installed over them and sound quality is excellent. I will probably be trying the A4 driver set soon.
