The bottom line for me is, I am trying to make the switch to Studio One Pro 3 for the following reasons...
1.) Studio One 3 is remarkably stable and fast.
2.) Studio One 3 is fairly priced at around $300, less than half what Pro Tools costs new with the ability to use 1 license on up to 5 Macs or PCs, no iLok req'd and no bogus subscription for updates req'd.
3.) Studio One 3 has enhanced features Pro Tools does not have.
4.) The non-response from Avid to the hundreds of people complaining are, to say the least, very, very disappointing.
In favor of Pro Tools...
1.) I truly enjoy the simplicity and elegance I've known for years.
2.) After years of learning Pro Tools, change is hard.
3.) There are features in Pro Tools that are not in Studio One 3 that I miss somewhat.
4.) Confidence when recording, especially when tracking, is king. This is just going to take some getting used to with Studio One 3.

I would be interested to know if you found a way to import session data in Studio One 3. I loved it except for that. When I'm mixing a 10 track album, I like to work with the same baseline, and I can't do that if I can't import session data, takes eons to do everything manually. :/
