If you're not willing to spend the money for a 950 yet, you could always get a 1050 (with or without a 750/770) and use that until the Outlaws release their high-end pre/pro, which they have already stated WILL have firewire and all the latest bells and whistles. This will most likely be over a year from now, though.
You can sell the 1050 for about a $100 loss used. We don't know what the used market for the 950 is going to look like yet.
