Not that I have any first-hand experience, but at a guess I'd say the faster 32-bit bus of the Mediator would win out over the 16-bit interface to the PCMCIA port, but then you've got a lot of additional circuits the Mediator is going through, whereas PCMCIA is going pretty much directly to the motherboard.  Be interesting to see some speed test results from people who have both!  :idea:
