Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I agree with David.  They both will work fine, and I doubt you would  
be able to tell the difference performance-wise doing music.  Also,  
they both can be set up for dual monitor, and can run really big  
external fw drives, which are two of the big considerations I have  
regarding my music.   It comes down to "Do you want a laptop or a  
desktop?"
