Audigy 4 or X-Fi

[chrismox]

I've decided to upgrade from my onboard sound to a decent card.
The PC is used exclusively for gaming and is connected to a Denon 5.1 amp.

My choices are:

Audigy 4 - £25
Audigy 4 Pro - (Can't find these anywhere!)
X-Fi Xtreme Music OEM - £58

Any thoughts?

Cheers.

Thanks, I was hoping to spend £60 max, picking up a second-hand Audigy 4 Pro if necessary.

I think the X-Fi seems like the best option. It seems crazy that Creative don't put S/PDIF on the back of their cards but I guess that's a ploy to get you to spend more money on the front panel.
