I use the M-Audio Projectmix (FW400) on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 13, using a FW-800 to FW-400 cable. Works fine.
The Macbook Pro is struggling even with 16 gig memory (yes I know its meant to be 8), and doesn't have a big enough screen.
I want an Apple IMac 27" and Apple are releasing their new uber thin IMac in December 2012. Quad cores etc and massive memory.
BUT, they are doing away with the Firewire 800 port on the new Imac. Probably to force the use of Thunderbolt. http://www.apple.com/uk/imac/features/
Apple make a thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor

Question is will Thunderbolt to (this adpator) to (fw800 - >fw400 ) to Projectmix arrangement work?
Or do I just buy the cuirrent model and potentially have a machine thats not that much faster
