Ever tried to connect several expresscard sounddevices at once?

With firewire it is _really_ easy: just daisy-chain them together. They are 
then even able to sample-sync all by the firewire-clock. (All other 
technologies have to use external sync!) I would say this counts as _a lot_ 
more flexible.

And its really not "look out for ricoh-chipsets" but "look out for the broken 
ricoh-chipsets". There are ricohs that work extremely well. (I know from my 
own expirience.)

Have fun,

Arnold
