The Logic Off Topic list

I used to have Cakewalk Professional 8 until I traded it in for Logic Audio
Gold for £129 (at Sound Technology, UK - www.soundtech.co.uk).

I am now not sure whether getting Logic Audio was a good idea.  I am finding
it difficult to get the hang of, never mind master it - whereas with
Cakewalk, I mastered most of it in a short time (although I had used an
older version a long time before that).  I am 15 and doing one of my GCSE
(UK exams for 14 - 16 year olds) Music compositions, which has to be mostly
finished in about two weeks

It would be interesting if anyone would like to share their opinion on
whether I should stick with Logic Audio or go back to Cakewalk.  I have been
in touch with Et Cetera (the UK Cakewalk distributor), and they have told me
I could send Logic Audio to them and they would give me Cakewalk Pro Audio 9
for £79, as if I was upgrading from Cakewalk Professional 8.  The problem is
, if I take that I'll be losing out on £129 - and I'll need to buy a
seperate notation program (probably Cakewalk Overture 2).

I'd be interested to know what other people think of this - should I stick
with Logic Audio (and probably struggle), or go back to Cakewalk?  I asked a
friend who's into computers (but not really music software), and he said
that the best programs are complicated to use at first.
