The RME has a much nicer mixer app. There is Envycontrol24 for the Delta. If the difference in price is more important than quality, go with the Delta. Its a decent unit and I have yet to come across anything bad with it. But the RME will give you better performance in the long run. Maybe add a cardbus for your laptop, which the delta will not do. Plus you can allways add a Digiface box later for more channels. My current setup also includes a Tascam DM24 digital console. Which works with the RME rather well.
