Bugger for the group but I understand your position :o). This post of
yours would actually be very appropriate in the LAW-to-SX group. You
seem to have made your mind up pretty much for the short to medium
term, and you have hands-on SX experience. I can't say the same for
myself yet :o(.

Hey, me too :o) plus the fact that Logic is better for collaborating
with the real pros which I do from time to time.

Valid points I am sure. I have read this elsewhere. Still, I am sure
that whatever talent I have (small as it may be), I would be able to
make music as good as I am capable of on any of the major sequencer
platforms.

Being updated on both Logic and Cubase is a luxury that I am sorry I
can't afford. That would be nice, though.

Even without EVOC and ES2 I feel the same way. The full EXS24, the
chorus, the compressors etc. Having to live without those REALLY hurt
