The issue will be software not hardware. I can't remember the
specifics but I think the throw in software with the motu device will
work with two of the same firewire interface, ie 896, 828 etc, but not
dissimilar. Something wacky like that. I don't think logic will work
with two MOTU devices itself so not sure it will work with two separate
manufactured firewire interfaces. But again, it is a software issue,
not a hardware one.
