Three main reasons for me:
1) single-source obsolete parts make me nervous. (SPO-250)
2) tough to record your own sounds for the speech board without having an
SPO-250 development system
3) Would be nice to have one (more) free slot on the backplane if we never
get a DSP based "all in one" sound card done so you can have all sound
cards installed at once. (and switch the analog outputs of each with a
mux)
