I've used finale before I used Logic notation, Thinking Its a dedicated notation program exclusively, then to find out it cannot record as sequencers record. Only notate. The scanning ability of both programs (finale, sibelious) are priceless, infact its a technological breackthrough in our liftime as you discovered. The ease of use has sibelious on top. The notation ease of use as well as quick studio all around program for producing has logic on top of all. I went back to logic after a year of finale, which has frustrated me for the better of trying to go back and rework already finished scores. Also if you want played back programs for recording, logic is the only for humanizing and realism, and thats VSL. Finale runs on ram for memory and if you reach its end peak then the notes will scatter into oblivioun and corrupt from begining to end. As if you run out of memory in logic it only will slow down to slugish notification and will not corupt from begining to end, just where you are working on last.. Logic runs out at about 100 pages a part and finale runs out at about 30 pages, the last time I used it. Its a good idea to have both just for safe and all features to have. Also the working ease of staying in one program for keyboard functions is important and one needs to mention that logic's notation is involved completely with the rest of the program, its midi and audio tracks and complete program ect.. one have to know the complete program to work it. So the mac is the only solution here. Looks is the difference in logic notation compared to S,F. If you can sacrifice looks also. But I just want a program that will complete the producing stage for all. That way the remembering curve in staying in one program is also a factor. So what ever fits your objective.
