Default New sound card? - recommendations please

I currently have an SB Audigy - one of the first ones, now about 5 years old.

Is it worth upgrading to an Audigy 4, or X-Fi given that I just want high-quality stereo music. The sound card is connected to a Cyrus amp and Gale monitor speakers so any deficiencies would be obvious.

Any other makes to consider for under ~ £80

X-fi Extreme Music is very good (especially for BF2 )

Although it seems people rate other makes for pure music use... (i can't help here..)

The Terratec Aureon cards are supposed to be the best for playback and also very good for gaming with 2.1 speaker configurations as well as supporting upto 7.1.
I still mourn the loss of my Aureal Vortex though. Nothing beat A3D 2.0 surround sound for realism
