Hi Mike
I went from firewire to USB because of the convenience. Unless you have a 6-pin firewire port, you'll need a powered hub to power the firewire version.
I can get 60fps with my USB version no probs, but to solve the disk drive speed, I capture to an external harddrive and only get a very small fraction of dropped frames.
My thoughts, go the USB - especially if your new laptop doesn't have a 6-pin firewire port.
As for price - not sure. Brand new they're around $400 aren't they? So you'd have to start a bit less than that I guess.
