Welcome to the darkside.  I've never used Garageband, but I'm finding 
that using MOTU's Digital Performer 4 with their 828 Firewire interface 
to be a very sweet little setup.  For looping it's got the POLAR module 
which is a single feature (adjustable feedback) away from being a 
Repeater killer.  All in all, it is a useful feature.

I can't go on enough about how I think you made the right choice.  
While there's not as much cool software out for Macintosh OSX, there's 
more all the time and there already is a bunch of cool stuff.  OSX is 
amazingly stable and to me seems a hands down winner in terms of 
useablity compared to Window's XP.  (I have to use both at my job)
