Do Firewire hubs reduce bandwidth?

This question seems like it ought to have a simple answer, but I've had difficulty finding one.

If you connect a firewire hub to a firewire port on your computer, and then connect two firewire devices to the firewire hub, does that mean each device may only utilize 1/2 the bandwidth through the computer's firewire port?

Any reason I should not buy an M-Audio FireWire Solo?

I think I am going to get the M-Audio FW Solo. I currently have a Tascam US-122. I'm looking to get the AD / DA inputs that the Tascam lacks. Is there any reason to avoid the FW solo? If so, why? and then, what do you recommend instead in the $200-300 range?

I'm using a 15" PowerBook with Tiger and only record Vocals and the occasional hardware synth or drum machine.
