M-Audio: Omni/Delta 66 or Firewire 410?

I'm putting together my first system with simplicity in mind. The M-Audio PCI based Omni/Delta 66 really appealed to me because of the minimal additional equipment required to make basic recordings. That said, the M-Audio Firewire 410 also looks interesting. Aside from the flexibility of using the Firewire 410 with different computers, these products appear similar in many respects.

Delta Omni/66?

I having a tough time figuring out the Aux Ins on the Omni:

The manual says," Aux to Line In switches are only providewd for Aux Ins 1 and 2. Aux Ins 3 and 4 cannot be routed to the Omni Line Ins in this Fashion". Is there another way to route it? When they say "fasion" it seems that there could be another way.
So can I get aux Ins 3&4 into Cubase SX?

Thanks

Delta 1010 vs. . RME multiface

Hey all, who wins in a nock down drag out? I know its not a fair comparison since 1 has more Ins and outs and is more expensive but all I need is 8 TRS ins 2 TRS outs and I'm happy. So I guess the question is how the 1010s converters stack up. Also another question for you.. Is it possible to mix in Pro Tools even when tracking with another software using either of these converters. thanks
