I can think of one area, especially if he works a lot with midi/soft synths -- low latencies. Just like FW is faster than USB2, and PCI is faster than both, the result is (theoretically) lower latencies. If you work mostly with audio, then you don't know what it means to have to freeze instruments during a heavy midi production.
With lower latencies, it's less of an issue (or even a non-issue).... You keep piling on virtual instruments, and your system just handles it.
Based on the advertised latencies of these USB 3.0 units, that's one of their big strengths.
Added: I just thought of another benefit to low latencies: Hearing FX with live guitar playing. I'm not a guitar player, but I've seen plenty of posts where others have considered this important.
