As far as I can tell VDR considers all cards equal and selects the first one, which is the full card. What I didn't mention earlier was that the full-card is not a primary device (as I'm using xine-plugin). I could change the for-loop to check devices from last to first and it would fix this for me, but I guess it might be a good idea to make VDR select budget card over full card even when full-card is not a primary device.
