I compared the NI E and the new M-series last spring, and found the 
M-series to be quite a bit cheaper for similarly speced boards. But as 
they weren't yet supported by Comedi (or Matlab's xPC and RTWin), I 
bought myself a couple of boards from the E-series.

Last December, I had to order another NI board, and found the prices of 
the E-series to have been increased by a whopping 25%!! For no reason 
other than to get people to buy the M-series. I haven't been too fund of 
NI since...

Kind regards,
