Jörn,
the great advantage of firewire devices from my POV is
that you can
easily share your device between your studio PC and your mobile kit for
on-location recording. the only alternative to that kind of flexibility
is an RME [multi|digi]face with both a hdsp expresscard and a pcie card.
which is in an entirely different price bracket.
Just in case you haven't noticed: Firewire is dead. The number of
devices with a firewire port is decreasing rapidly.
I wouldn't advocate Firewire devices anymore for new buyers.
