Ableton Live - Presonus Studio One

Not looking for any flames, heated arguments or other. I am a loyal Cake user dating back to DOS Cake 3.0. 

But the way Live works seems quite different.  I downloaded a trial version and it seems counter intuitive, but more in line with my work flow.  I tend to compose a whole song, but track and build sections out a verse or a chorus at a time.  

Presonus just seems simpler than the stuff out there.

My style (if you want to call it that) is 
1) Build a song structure out with a boom chick click track, markers, yada yada
2) Record a set of instruments for Verse then for chorus then for bridge
3) copy and paste the structure of the song together
4) come back and re-record all the parts so there is nothing actually copy and paste.

But I will spend 30-40 minutes on a verse working up the guitars, the bass, the drums, the keys.... maybe much more.  So I tend to start the recording process 16 or 8 bars at a time.  

I have tried the new loopy thing in Sonar that looks like live/p5 but i do not totally get it. Maybe I should put more time in.

Presonus just seems to be a very clean uncluttered interface, though the feature set seems big.  

Any experience with either?
