I have only used t100p, te110p and te405p cards from Digium. I have also
used Sangoma's T/E cards. Sangoma's cards seem to perform better, as I
can see much less load on the CPU. Haven't tried newer cards from Digium
yet. I guess with newer chipset/firmware they should be able to match
Sangoma's performance.

My next purchase is going to be Digium. Everything being equal, I would
go with Digium than any other vendor.

If only, Digium can improve price/performance of their IAXys too, I will
not have to look for any other vendor at all !
