i didn't switch..... i've been using Logic since it was ported to the Mac; 
previously, i did use ProTools *hardware*, but swapped it out for MOTU2408 
when Digi's 'upgrade-path' proved financially untenable, for me.....

speedy user-interfaces (w/'pre-existing' physical controls) resulting inna 
more 'instant' kinda gratification, realistic levels of robustness & 
stability -(i don't think that my pcm42 has ever *crashed*, & the EDP is 
rock-solid; both have 100's of 1000's of 'miles' on them, ya dig)- lack of 
latency, etc..... like that, like that.....

no, generally, it seems that ye can suss midi-controls-to-parameters in 
'software'-machines, mit some digging & tweaking, methinks.....
