If we had known that you were willing to spend $300-$400 more than you originally stated, we might have made different recommendations. You seem to be aware that you will be dividing your work between two platforms. However, you still will not be getting the most out of your Windows-only applications (BIAB, Real Band). I believe Cubase will run on either a PC or Mac.

In any case, we wish you the best with your choice. In a completely unrelated forum, it has been said that "PCs are for hobbyists and Macs are for professionals." I think there is some merit to that. Please let us know how it works out for you.
