Soundstorm or SB Live Value

Ok... I know, there is a generation gap between the two but i'm finally upgrading my poor kt333 board to nforce2. I was looking at the db ratings and the SB live value is 96 db whereas the soundstorm on the A7n8X deluxe is 85db (at least that's what I found). Should I plug in my SB live Value or stick with the onboard Soundstorm?
 
Soundstorm on my A7n8X deluxe has worked great for me but I don't see any reason you shouldn't use your Creative card. If you're a gamer, the SB live might save you a few fps when gaming. I don't notice much of a hit when I run the sound test in 3DMark03. Soundstorm is pretty efficient.
 
try them both out and see. from looking at the specs of both, the sb live card should sound better if you're using the analog ports.
