It is unlikely that I would have purchased the ASI if my Imaging Source cameras had a USB interface. With the ASI at approx. ½ price of the equivalent DMK model, it was a no-brainer to get the ASI.
Has there been a quantum improvement in image quality? Well, in my experience so far, for the solar and lunar work that I enjoy, I would say not. The most significant contribution to IQ is seeing although the higher frame rate of the ASI can help you gather more good frames in those fleeting seconds of good seeing.
On my Samsung Ultrabook, the ASI will only work on the native USB2 port and not on the other 2 native USB3 ports although I have not looked for a fix yet.
All the above comments are my preliminary observations only and could well change as I gain more experience with using the ASI, so take it with a pinch of salt.

you are quite correct Dennis, the ASI does not work in USB3 ports as i have trialled that on all of my PC's
