If it's the front panel you need, the Terratec DMX 6 Fire is better than the Platinum, imo.
Sorry Mr. Moderator, I've heard the Revolution - it's junk. The execs at M-Audio should be shot for releasing that "thing". Latency problems up and down, unusually high noise floor at lower levels, and a poor S/PDIF pot makes for a bad preformer. It's got great specs on paper, but in real life, it's a dog. M-Audio needs to focus on pro audio - that's what put them on the map.

The Terratec is good, but it has latency issues. So recording can be problematic. But otherwise it compares well to the Audigy2 Platinum.
