Does anyone have experience of the Creative X-fi HD USB card compared with similarly-priced internal cards?

For slightly complicated reasons, I'm stuck with a laptop till next academic year, after which I will be re-united with my PC. While I'm quite keen to get the USB card now (which will be then used with the PC), is there a big enough difference in quality between that and an internal card to make it worthwhile waiting to buy an internal card.

Since the PC will be for long-term use, I would be tempted to stretch to one of the Xonar Essence cards if I don't purchase an external card now.

Thoughts? Thanks!
