Yes.  You really appreciate DS when you decide you need to add additional audio tracks to your existing captures.  ;)  

It's a give and take.  You certainly get exponentially more for your money out of the Apple stuff, which is a good thing since you need to spend some of that money for the extra plugins and goodies to complete the jobs.  On the other hand, if you are doing heavy compositing, then you have to use After Effects on the Mac.  But wait -- it has a nice 3D enviroment...   You get my point.  Nothing is perfect. There's workarounds no matter what.

My new gig will be FCP/Madison Media Software on side by side systems.   We have the new Kona cards with FCP on the new dual CPU dual core Macs and also have Final Touch color correction with the outboard surface controls.  There will be many little things I miss from DS, but I'm guessing I will be much happier overall.  Time will tell. 

Have a great weekend, one and all.
