But the thread title is "Please recommend PCI-E Parallel Port card" and not 6i25

I don't think the price difference is even that much. A duel parallel pcie card is more like 1/2-1/3 the cost of a 6i25.
I'm using this card to run a machine

But I did have some issues with pull up resistors on some cheap bobs with it.

Not sure why this LPT card issue keeps coming up, but just about any LPT/parallel port card will work for software stepping as long as the motherboard has low enough latency.
The only time the EPP mode is necessary is when a LPT/parallel port card is used with a Mesa 7i43 FPGA card with a parallel port.
