Thanks very much for the quality replies! I do appreciate it. Sascha, you
are correct about going the extra mile having spent $$ on Logic. The SB
wasn't an arrangement I planned on sticking with long term. And thanks for
the explaination on NI's B4. That was  really bugging me.

Since we are on the subject of drivers (sort of) I would like to ask
clarification / opinions on their categories and how they relate to Logic /
Digital Audio.

..Based on my own reading and interpretation:

ASIO-2: The premier and preferred audio driver? Not supported by Logic 4.x,
5.x?

ASIO: The P and P if you can't use ASIO-2

EASI: Emagic's driver technology. Maybe not as good as ASIO unless it's
matched with Emagic hardware? EMI 2/6??

WDM: Equal to or better than ASIO when matched with supporting software / OS
platform, i.e. Sonar / Windows 32bit OS's. Not supported by Logic 4.x/5.x.
Although strangely enough Echo speaks about their ASIO driver as a ASIO WDM
driver. Now I'm confused.
See http://www.echoaudio.com/Download/6.02/echo24/Echo24%20readme%206.02.pdf
Page 12.

MME: Don't know much about this one. Seems to be an older driver folks are
moving away from.

Direct X: Same again.

GSIF: Gigasampler / Nemesys proprietary driver only.

end.

Thanks again, I'm off to spend money.
