Logic Pro is a pro application. The Apple Stores are based on a mall-type
consumer mentality. Very few consumers would want to drop $1000 for a pro
audio application. I'm sure Apple doesn't have Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio
Pro or Shake loaded in the stores either. Just over the heads of who Apple
is usually catering to in the Apple Stores.

Not for nothing, if you have been able to have access to Logic Express, you
really have all the demo you need for Logic Pro. The two softwares function
pretty much exactly the same. You get more of some things with the pro
version, but to see Logic Pro Express work is usually sufficient to see how
Pro works.
