PT and Cubase compatibility

[soundtech84]

I have a mac. I recently bought PT8 and Cubase 5. What is the best way to go back AND forth between the two?
I got PT b/c I know it better, but Cubase can do OMF's, TC, and 5.1 (for cheaper). I do not have the DV toolkit or the digitranslator for PT.
I would like to bring an OMF into CB, send it to PT to edit and record new stuff, maybe do a stereo mix, then send it back to CB for a 5.1 mix.
What is the best course for me?

IMHO, your best bet is to go to www.nuendo-post.com and get the Gavin.xlm file from that site, which is a keyboard shortcuts preset file that brings PT shortcuts to Nuendo or Cubase. Than do everything in Cubase. You will waste less time learning Cubase than exporting-importing back and forth.

EDIT - here's the shortcuts file:
