However, I worry that the sound I eventually hear thru Sonar will not be the sound I would hear from the ES7 because I am assuming the laptop's soundcard would interpret the sounds and reproduce.


Not at all. It will sound *exactly* the same. Going to state the obvious here but it solely depends on what the outputs of your laptop are connected to. If they are connected to the same speakers that you're using to monitor your Motif ES it will sound the same. However, if you decide to play the recorded track through the built in speakers of your laptop it will obviously sound different. Not that important because it is what you record that matters. How you choose to monitor the track after it has been recorded is up to you. But what you record is what it will sound like. Don't make yourself worry about anything.

Is this where the MLAN-16 device comes into play?


Sort of. It will definitely give you a better quality inputs and outputs then the ones on your laptop. Built-in audio cards on laptops can be a bit noisy. Although if the card is okay and you don't have any issues with ground and use good cables/converters it shouldn't be a problem.
