The issue with the Nomic is the fact that you're using the computer sound card and more computer resources. If you have a newer computer with a good sound card, and you have decent processor speed and a decent amount of memory, then the Nomic is every bit as good as the SignaLink and vice versa.
I've tried my Nomic with a new mid-range Dell Vostro laptop, with an older Dell Latitude laptop (7 yrs old), and with a variety of new netbook computers such as the Acer Aspire One. There was no noticeable difference when using the Vostro. The SignaLink was better with the Latitude than was the Nomic. I had serious problems with the Nomic on the netbook computers until I upgraded them to 2Gbytes of memory (and in one case swapped out the sound card). Once I made those changes, the SignaLink and Nomic performed equally well. As someone else mentioned, if you have a data jack on the rig, you're better off connecting to that through a Plug&Play (or the SignaLink) than in using the microphone and headset interface. If you don't have a data jack, then you'll have to use the microphone and headset.
