I have one Phoenix card and 4 QSI cards. The Phoenix sounds are maybe a little better, and their quality control and customer service is great, but it's really pricey and I can't see how they can compete. With QSI I get excellent sound, and remote control of direction, speed, sound, and lights in one card. And it's under $140. I can't see why I'd pay sixty dollars more for a card that does much less. I was hoping Phoenix would price this new card to be competitive, but it doesn't look like they did. But maybe it has features I haven't seen yet
