I would say that the first thing you should do is decide what PT doesn't do for you. then check out the other programs to see if they do it. Then ask Nuendo users who also use Pro Tools (for example) why they don't do everything in Nuendo. that will give you a better idea of where you should go with this.

i will say one thing though; I can see less and less reason to buy and Avid hardware, unless you are tracking many instruments at a time. Use 3rd party hardware and upgrades will be cheaper for whatever program you want to use.
