MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum integrated sound

The MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum comes with integrated Soundblaster Live with digital outputs. I already have an extra Audigy1, and I'm wondering if you guys could tell me what the differences are. Basically, I want to know if it's worth it to go through the hassle of installing all the huge gobs of software crap that comes with the audigy. For example, do they support different kinds of EAX? I'd also like to save a PCI slot if the difference isn't too much.

I read a ton of reviews for my mobo, and they all just said "Sound Blaster Live is great for integrated sound." But, that doesn't really tell me anything, you know? Thanks in advance.

Platinum SLI or Diamond does.

Non-SLI does not.
