Hi Sean,

If I recall correctly, the Perf tool does *work* in Logic 8 - you 
just can't edit. When you install Logic 8 you should keep Logic 7 on 
your system (it does this by default). Then you can use v7 to edit 
Perf tool stuff which you can then use in v8 (yes....pain in the 
butt...)
Bear in mind that you don't need the Perf tool for Vienna Instruments 
(VI), only for your EXS24 Horizon stuff (which you may as well keep)

Another reason to keep Logic 7 is if you have old songs made pre 
Logic 5, you can't open them in v8 - you have to open them in v7, 
re-save etc.

VI is really great. You should also get the free download of Vienna 
Ensemble v2 - also extremely useful.

Enjoy......
