well, the simple answer that nobody has mentioned is that RB can't do everything that BIAB can do. BIAB has been around longer and simply has more features.

But, as RB progressed, it certainly has added most of the key features of BIAB, and IMO it has already reached the point where everything I typically do to a project can be done from start to finish in Realband.

Some key Things RB can do that BIAB can't:
have more than 7 tracks
increase midi resolution
use multiple MIDI ports

Things RB can do that other DAWS can't do:
continue to add generated MIDI or real tracks
continue using PGMusic magic for a longer part of the song creation cycle

common work flow:
1) use BIAB to rapidly solidify an idea

2) use RB to add additional tracks from styles or RTs, and to surgically arrange everything where you want it

3) if your typical mixing doesn't require a bunch of resource hog plugs, make it easy on yourself and finish the project in RB

4) if you mix with multiple resource hogs like Session Horns, BFD3, Amplitube, and other sound libraries, then you almost need to move the project to a 64 bit DAW in order to use them all at the same time and really hear the unified mix.
