“Much better”? There ain’t no such thing as “better/worse” when it comes to digital capture. It’s just a transfer of bits (aka 0’s and 1’s) from the tape to the hard-drive via a Firewire (aka IEEE1394 aka iLink aka a high-speed serial port) connection. Remember?
So all cards do it the same. Even an integrated Firewire port on the motherboard will provide the same “quality”.
