No they don't.

Saffire AD/DA codec is the Cirrus CS42428-CQ
Saffire LE AD/DA codec is the Cirrus CS42432-DMZ

Whether you hear a difference is another thing.

I was told by a Focusrite rep, that the pres in the "pro"are the same as the LE, but the Cirrus chip is an all in one ad/da...

I dont know whether this means you cant seperate them with outboard convertors or not.

The pro seems like an answer to the firepod pretty much...
