No of course not, at least not for the moment. Today, there's no reason to
make any considerations either way, other than OS9 -> OSX perhaps. I am on
PC and is still using Logic, but I have bought Cubase SX too. And even
though I haven't spent that many hours with Cubase yet, I must say the audio
part in SX feels "better" than in Logic. More solid. Still there's obvious
things SX lacks wich is so basic in Logic. Logic also solves some audio,
especially the mixer integration more elegant than Cubase. But, ultimately I
think I'll go Cubase sometime in the future, when it has better MIDI support
and Logic for PC is outdated. One thing I don't quite understand though; is
the coming VST3 and AU conquerent systems or wont VST3 ever be released for
OSX?

Hehe! No I don't concider MOTU creme of anything. My experience with MOTU is
rather bad. Poor drivers and terrible or non-existing support. I have sent
emails to MOTU which I think should qualify for the ho ho hotel. ;-)
