[Avid-L2] New iMac best route to firewire 800/400 and or Esata?

 

I have a lot of firewire 800 and 400 enclosure must of which also have Esata.  I will certainly get a thunderbolt to firewire adapter for the new iMac but with 4 USB 3 ports on the computer it seems a lot cheaper for multiple drives to go USB3 to Esata.  I see some cables on amazon etc....  I also se laCie has a esata TB hub with two Esata ports and a loop through.  I read that the two TB ports can each have up to 10Gbps one for data and one for video or something like that.  Do USB3 to esata cables really work?  I like the loop through TB because I will be driving an external monitor too and would like to not tie up both TB ports.  Curious what others are doing to retain access to firewire legacy drives.
