This is true, however, the other advantage the forte has is its really cheap (compared to prelude and D2X)

$104.99 after $10 MIR which is not much more than a striker.

Canada Computers - Sound Cards : Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 Low Profile PCI Express Sound Card (AZT-FORTE).

NCIX had an extreme deal of the day that had it around that price, so it tells me that they can go that low and price match it.
