help! hercules fortissimo II or III?

[filodore]

im going to buy a new soundcard really really soon, like in the next 2 days and i'm wondering whether the fortissimo III is just as good as the fortissimo II seeing as it's cheaper.

i would rather get the fortissimo II except it's sold out everywhere and i would have to wait a week if i ordered it. i can get the fortissimo III much easier but i was wondering if it is of the same standard since it is cheaper?

My guess is that the III would be better than the II.

The Fortissimo III is a 7.1 channel sound card, and the Fortissimo II is just 4.1. I haven't used the Fortissimo III, but if the Fortissimo and the Fortissimo II are any indication, it should be an awesome card.
