Oh hardly a thing! If you already have USB 2 then I see no point at all in buying a Firewire card reader. The two methods are so close that unless someone gives you a reader, stick with what you have. I didn't realise that you already had a USB 2 reader. I'm pretty sure that IEEE1394 (Firewire iLink, call it what you will) was developed by a certain computer manufacturer who will remain nameless - but I could be wrong on that... USB 2 and Firewire and even SCSI are excellent methods of connectivity....
