There is one other thing I should mention that could influence your choice to buy:
When recording audio into PT LE it's possible to monitor in real time through PT's mixer what you're recording, and use PT's plug Ins on your input channel, eg to give a singer some reverb in the cans, but record the vocal dry, and record the vocals with some compresion on it etc.

In Logic it's not so easy. Firstly you can't use Logic's plug Ins on live inputs, and secondly there is about a 1/2 second delay in hearing what you're recording, coming back to digi's outputs via Logic's mixer. This is called latency.

These problems are solved with an external mixer, fx processor (for reverb), and compressor.

I have a Mackie 1202 VLZ mixer, Behringer Composer Pro compressor, and TC Electronic M One fx processor.
Total cost about £650, probably 2/3 that in the states.

With that I have a very flexible system with far more inputs and outputs than if I just had the 001, infinitely better reverb than
D Verb (the M One's reverb is supeb, plus it's actually two fx processors in one and has delays, flangers, phasers, chorus etc), and much better reverb.
I'm about to buy a patch bay which should round things off nicely.

Also having external processing saves on
CPU usage. Reverb plug Ins are hungry CPU users. I've got TC Electronic's reverb plug in for VST (to use with Logic), and whilst it's very good, it's not as good as the M One. Incidently the TC plug is one of the least hungry ones - certainly seems that way to me.

The VST plug Ins I use generally seem a lot less hungry than the RTAS ones.

I must also re-iterate that Logic definitely seems to be a more "robust" program in terms of crashes, sessions becoming corrupted etc (which used to happen to me in PT LE). It seems to more happily exist alongside other programs in my computer than PT LE.

I have a customised extension set for both PT LE and Logic, and whilst it was pretty important to use this with PT LE, it doesn't seem to make much difference one way or another with Logic - the program seems to behave itself whether I use it or not.

I'll write some more if I think of it.
