I found this USB 2 vs USB 3 audio interface article and thought that I would share it:

Good points; my RME interface which is USB 2.0 allows for 18 channels (8 analog, 8 adat and 2 S/PDIF) input and the same amount of outputs simultaneously. At the moment, there are few USB 3.0 interfaces that I know and even fewer Thunderbolt ones. Of course, more bandwidth is always good so once these new standards have become 'standard' and given an comparable price between those and USB 2.0 then I would choose the 3.0 and TB versions, but more out of 'going with the times' than anything else. It does seem though, that firewire is supported less and less.

Good one!
I like the idea that usb3 is backward compatible with usb2, so my absolutely ass-kicking Digitech audio processors will work even when usb3 becomes the "standard".

Interesting, but I don't see any mention of latency. In theory if you don't actually increase the number of channels, then for the same buffer size the latency should go down. I wonder if any USB3 kit has that sort of flexibility built-in.
