'Nuff said. Don't want it then.

Obviously, since I haven't heard the Waveblaster. But, I'll go ahead and
guarantee that a professional synthesizer (which I already have) sounds
better than a Waveblaster (which I was considering but decided against
because it didn't offer me ANYTHING new). Sure, SB may be the standard,
since it's cheap, supported, and popular, but why do I want one if I already
have something better?
Back to my original question though, is the GUS worth the money SINCE IT
DOES 3D SOUND and will also play DIGITIZED .WAV FILES? I don't need it
for GM (although it would be a better alternative than the SB+WB if I can't
get the SB to send MIDI data out to a synth instead of playing it on the
card).
