Per, how stable has Live been as an AU host?  I'm building up a 
Macbook-based performance rig, and would like to use Logic to have 
access to Sculpture. Unfortunately, I don't find Logic stable enough for 
live performance, at least on my studio G5. If Live is stable with AU 
instruments and Augustus Loop, it might be an option.
