From all accounts they work and the mixer routing is superior to the Lynx.
I actually had minimal problems with my AES16's until I moved to a new MOBO/Dual Quad xeon Rig. If you are only using one card it is not a bad option for many systems, it just wasn't working for me anymore. I just think these are more finnicky to work with. They work better on some MOBO's than others. Out of the 3 PCI slots on my MOBO the AES16 cards only works on one of the slots. Synching up units makes it even trickier.
I heard from the RME forum that they will have the PCI version ready for June sometime. They are currently in production. They are going to going for about $1100 / $1200 USD so I was in no hurry to Beta test. After my experience with AES16e I personally think that alot of companies are overhyping the performance angle for PCIe cards.
