Sometimes I feel like I am the only person on earth who can't seem to stumble on a good deal on these ESS + Wavetable sound cards..

I know the feeling man. It's taken a while, and luck finally went my way this morning. I happened to hit my saved searches while I had my first coffee, and this gent on the other side of the world had just put up a variety of cards.

I love this card. It has everything needed for DOS gaming.

Can you tell me more about this card? I’m guessing this one has some decent wave table midi?

It does not have best of all worlds but it is definitely universal and well ballanced card. It has very good SBPro 2 compatibility, good OPL3, ESFM, which is very nice alternative to OPL3 and also onboard wavetable (not the top notch one, but definitely nice to have). Generally good all-in-one solution.

Just picked up my new acquisition. A new and sealed Roland CM500!!!

is the ES692S comparable to the ES690F?

Edit: A little bit of searching and it seems the 692S is similar but with the 1mb patchset built in.
