Excellent!! You have no idea how useful the infromation you provide is. 
However down here (I live in Mexico City) if I was going to get an A2ZS 
Pro or Platinum or anything other than the plain ZS (i.e the card alone, 
without the LiveDrive), the cost is quite high ($270 USD for a Pro/Plat 
depending where I look for it, and maybe $170 USD for the ZS plain, the 
Audigy 1 runs for "only" $86 USD)... I'll be wanting to make full use of 
the extra channels the A2ZS offers... And maybe save up a bit to see if 
I can get Pro/Plat model.
