Is this a justified converter upgrade? Emu to Apogee .

Quick overview of my setup:

Mics:
AKG 451-EB mics with CK1 caps (this is the best sound for me. I've tried nearly all versions of Neumanns, KM84, KM184, U89, Schoeps, etc.. nearly all high end mics and the vintage pair of AKG's are basically silky brightness, exactly what I need)

PREAMP:
Hamptone JFET

e-mu 1820m unusual microphone question

Forums

Hey, i don't know if this is the best forum to ask this in, but it's the weekend and i can't call emu tech support.

I have a headset with a mic that i use when playing games online to talk to people. The headset has a stereo (two red rings) 1/8 jack for the microphone. The problem is that the emu cards and the audiodock don't have any 1/8 inputs. It has 6 1/4 inputs though.

Need help deciding b/w Lynx L22 and E-mu 1212m

I am thinking of buying a card for my PC to use with Ableton Live and have been looking at the Lynx L22 and the E-mu 1212m.
Both apparently have the same AD to DA converters and the E-mu has midi and a few other extras that the Lynx does not have, eg on board DSP and is half the price.

Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the two cards or had an experience with either?
