differance between hauppauge pcr-150mce and pcr-250mce?

I was looking at both cards and can not see much differance? In the litature the pcr-250mce card makes referance to Mythtv. Which should I go with? Or would it be better to go with the non mce versions of these cards. I see the mce cards do have a fm tuner but I do not know if its even used in Mythtv.

PVR-150(MCE) are a newer design than PVR-250(MCE) and in Europe the
PVR-250(MCE) has completely vanished from the market. The PVR-150(MCE) do
have a newer compression chip, which might not be able of generating MPEG1
directly (only MPEG2), but that should not be a problem as far as MythTV is
concerned. Both PVR-150(MCE) and PVR-250(MCE) works with MythTV.

The non-MCE versions do come with a remote control, so they are a little
more expensive.

PVR-500(MCE) is a dual PVR-150(MCE)

MythTV does not support FM-tuners.
