Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Thank you Gregory once again,
After what you've said I'm seriously thinking of spending money for  
MOTU..
Actually I hear it from everywhere (did lots of research on internet)  
that MOTU is the best option for Mac/Logic/Pro Tools set up.
I know it will cost much more, but I guess it's worth spending money  
for it..
I'm really attracted by MOTU UltraLite-mk3.
Regards
