Can I connect a 27" Apple Cinema display to the new 2011 iMacs thunderbolt port to make a dual monitor setup?

I currently have a 27" Apple Cinema Display and am planning on purchasing a 2011 imac with Thunderbolt. Id like to set up the 27" ACD and 2011 imac in a dual display mode and need to know if the 27" ACD is compatible for this set up.

What is the differnce between the Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel) and the Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)?

I have a 2010 MacbbokPro without Thunderbolt.

Questions:

- Does the Thunderbolt port provide superior data transfer rates to the other ports? I presume the answer is "yes"
- If in future I upgrade to a new MacbookPro with Thunderbolt, can the Cinema Display (currently with only USB ports) also be upgraded to accept Thunderbolt? I suspect the answer is "no"
