Need help choosing a sound card !

Hi, I have been looking around for a cheap sound card ranging from £20-30 and I am torn between these two cards:

-Asus Xonar DG.5.1

-Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-040-CL

Just will appreciate if anyone could suggest a few pointers :S I kinda like the Asus Xonar as it mentions a built in headphone amp

If using headphones the DG is awesome value. Got mine from here for £25 and some Goldring DR50 phones for about the same elsewhere. Headphone amp is a nice inclusion. There's a massive thread on these in this section somewhere
