SB Audigy 2 ZS vs SB X-Fi XtremeMusic

Basically very close to purchasing a SB X-Fi XtremeMusic, but am wondering if there's much in it between the two?

Opinions please?

Much better imo, i went from Audigy 2 ZS to the Xtreme music and happy enough. Although X-Fi can be a real pain to get working well with certain systems, my system had a few of the known issues at first.

The fiddling about with Creative's software is not an unknown to me, unfortunately.

If you can get one second hand, probably yes, otherwise it might not be worth the premium.

Are you not happy with the Audigy 2 zs sound quality?
