So I have read through hundreds of posts on this board as well as researched across the web for days on end (literally) and I have come to narrow down my new DAW system to the following systems.

DP 4.5 / UAD1 / RME / 1GB
Apple 20" Monitor $999
APPLE G5 DUAL 1.8 1GB $2,295
(2HD) Hitachi 7,200RPM 160GB $100.00
Digital Performer 4.5 $499
UAD1 Project $499
RME PCI HDSP 9632 $599
Radium 61 Key Controller $199
TOTAL $5,190

>>>OR<<<

LOGIC PRO 7 / Mbox / PT LE / 1GB
Apple 20" Monitor $999
APPLE G5 DUAL 1.8 1GB $2,295
(2HD) Hitachi 7,200RPM 160GB $100.00
Logic Pro 7 $999
PT Mbox Bundle $549
Radium 61 Key Controller $199
TOTAL $5,141

I will be using this system to create pre-master ready commercial quality productions for house, dub, electro dance music songs. Some may very well be commissioned remixes where I will be given vocals or other arrangements to work with.

Since I am new to the MAC platform (new as in haven't used it for my personal projects) I am looking for some feedback on the pros/cons of both systems. Which would run more stable, etc...

I have heard the UAD card is not recognized by PT LE and I have also heard that UAD sounds better than the Bomb Factory with PT LE.

I have also seen people produce billboard selling tracks with DP as well as Logic.

So what is everyones opinion on DP 4.5 / UAD vs Logic Pro 7 / Mbox?

Any thoughts, suggestions or any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shane
