Topic: Why the Buffer Size /latencies in fireface setting of Fireface-UFX ca

I've just bought the new  Fireface-UFX , last week.The previously  my audio interface is RME Multiface(first version).
..My questions..
1)Why the Buffer Size /latencies in fireface setting of  Fireface-UFX can only set from 48 up to 1024 samples ?
But in the UFX's manual on page 7th, tell me that UFX can be set  "Buffer sizes/latencies from 48 up to 8192 samples selectable".
2)Why  the RME Multiface can be set from 32 up to 4096 samples,but UFX can not ?
3)in total mix, What is "listenback" function?
4)in total mix, What is "cue" function?
...Big thanks
My details,
- My comp with  UFX is worked through on via Firewire 400.
- In my DAW (Nuendo 4.3) session  is set to  24 bits / 48k.

1) Higher buffer sizes are available when they make sense - at double and quad speed.

2) Different architecture and different bus used - obviously.

3) and 4) are explained in detail in the manual.
