The main benefit is greatly improved sound quality. It's not that the old 192 was bad, it's just that the new ones are on a whole new level, among the tops in the industry right now.

Another benefit is the expansion. On the old 192, you could have up to 16 in/8 out, or 16 out/8 in (analog).

The news are up to 16 in/16 out on just one unit. By the way, if you think you might be adding expansion cards later on, it's way cheaper to just get the 16 x 16 version now, rather than getting the 8 x 8 and adding cards later.


And the last thing is that they look cooler.
