Sorry for crossposting, but I didn't get any love in the other threads...

I'm looking to upgrade my current interface (firepod) with something like the rme fireface or the lynx aurora. I've noticed that I can go with a firewire setup or install a pci or pci-e card and connect the interfaces that way. I was wondering what the differences between the two were. I'd imagine that you would have much higher bandwidth using the aes card vs the firewire card. Does this also reduce latency? Anyone have any experience with these things? Thanks for your help guys!
 
Stability - AES card.

I've used several FW devices with decent results and all, but if you have the slot, I'd get the card.
 
What MM says. I have an Aurora 8 with the AES card and it is very stable. If you have the available slot, I think it is still the gold standard.
