Anyway, all I'm asking is if any of you Pro Tools users out there can convince a Sonar lover to switch. Thanks a lot for any info!

Why switch? I use both Sonar and Pro-Tools. Sonar is better for composition. Pro-Tools is better for recording/mixing. I would try to convince you to ADD Pro-Tools to Sonar...but don’t try to cram them both on one computer.
Anyway, to answer a few of your questions:
LE is a lighter version of Pro-Tools where the audio processing is done on the host processor. It costs less but does not have the power of the TDM systems.
HD is the newest, most powerful Pro-Tools system. It uses dedicated DSP chips on PCI cards to do the audio processing.
The “must use Digi hardware with Digi software” issues is simply referring to audio I/O... In other words, you can’t use an Echo Layla on your Pro-Tools system but you can use whatever pre-amp you want.
Pro-Tools does not support Dxi or VST. But Sonar does...so use both!
