Firewire Keyboard? Is it pointless?

I'm looking to get a keyboard to use with Garageband for some minor composition and I saw in my research that M-Audio recently came out with a keyboard to be used via Firewire rather than USB...my question is what difference will this be? Less latency? WTF mate?

Thanks in advance,
J-Rizzle

maybe just because everything uses USB ports so it frees one up? rally don't have any idea other than that

Does it have ports on it? So it can be used to passthrough?
