Actually the V-4BRI should be more expensive than the 4BRI. The 'V' does mean Voice, but this card has more Voice-features besides the standard 4BRI DSP features (I think it's G.723). But this does not matter when using with Asterisk and chan_capi currently. Both cards support RTP, which can be used to bridge a call directly to a SIP phone where the Diva card is doing all the necessary stuff (codecs, jitter, echo-cancel). But this feature is not yet implemented into chan_capi yet (due to lack of time and the Asterisk API does not really help). Anyway, for Asterisk you can use both cards with the same features.
