The difference is much less than the differences between Mic pre-amps.

M-Audio stuff sounds good enough, and has a very good reputation for 
working.

The old Delta range seems to be available quite cheap these days,
I've been using a Delta-66 for years.

Do new computers still have PCI?


Really, it depends what features you need.
A high quality stereo in/out interface,
or more ins/out.
..or onboard mic pre-amps?
spdif?
