i'll hopefully tell you in a few days.
i bought emu mainly cause i love patchmix. I had an 0404 on my internet machine , i loved it so much i pulled out my MOTU 2408mk2 and now use it on my main music pc. just need more outs so i'm getting a 1616m .
you can get great deals on 1616m's via ebay.
yeah the cardbus thing is a bit weird and old, also its not really all that portable you need mains to run the breakout ( mic ins and outputs ect)
although you do get all the dsp chip effects and patchmix working via the cardbus and a stereo headphone out. so its tiny portable if need be ..but with no inputs and only 1 stereo out.
really a perfect model would be 100 percent portable ( for field work phantom ect) and have the patchmix and a dsp chip.
if you crossed all the best bits of a MOTU traveller with an EMU 1616m
that would be a top buy.
peace:)
