Better DAC, better sound. That's about it.
user-upgradeable. If a better DAC comes out you can buy it yourself

BTW for those that are interested, I got Takashi Iwai to backport it, (he graciously took the 1/2 day to do so) into the openSUSE Factory kernel (which sits at 2.6.30) so in the next milestone release of 11.2 you should be able to start utilizing x-fi's even on the live cd's starting with that release.

When you say the basics, does that include full 5.1/7.1 surround sound support?
