It is true just BECAUSE of what you're saying. SCSI and IDE operate at 
comparable transfer rates, but (SATA) IDE requires more processing power than 
SCSI. So especially when you notice the following..:

..in other words, Logic has less processing power available for the actual 
recording than Cubase, this only makes SCSI more favourable.

Besides, you can't really speak about "the bottleneck"; every element in the 
chain can slow things down. Especially in the case of IDE where the processor 
has to do all the work.
