I have been using an Ensemble for a while and its exactly what you would expect! Good quality.
The latency is very low if you set the buffers low enough, but I don't think it's as good as the Symphony, you probably only talking less than a millisecond I guess!
The all-in-one advantages of the Ensemble are for some.
