Well, you may have enough now, but later ...

 Going external also allows me

Yes, some are expensive.  I have an EISA version, and it nearly floored
me when I found out the cost.  However, they do have many versions, so
check them all out for cost/performance.  Of course, there are more than
just Digiboard cards.  G-Tech is one that comes to mind, as well as STB
and some others.
