I have been a Sonar user for years, and a VS-700 set owner since it came out. But I just bought an Apollo interface and now I can only use the control surface (VS-700C).
 
So... Should I now sell the whole VS-700 set and just get a generic control surface, which will also control my other DAWs? When forced, I also use Windows and Mac versions of ProTools and Digital Performer, and Logic on the Mac.
 
I know the VS-700C can control DP (at least it worked until last night, which may just be a glitch).
 
So if there is any software that allows the VS-700C to control Pro Tools and Logic with the VS-700C, then I can keep it, but I'd like to be able to use one control surface for everything.
 
So far, as a potential replacement, I've looked at the Avid Artist Mix and Mackie Control Universal Pro online, and they look really junky compared to the VS-700. Also, I'd hate to get locked into protocols created by other developers/manufacturers (like EUCON and Mackie Control), when my primary DAW is Sonar X3.
 
But, since I've stopped using the VS-700I/O,  I fear that unless I plan to keep the VS-700C for life, now is the best time to sell the set and move on. To what, I don't know. Any suggestions?

Perhaps one of these, which seem to run around $2800-$3100, depending on where you look:

It is their M24, and while I do not yet have one, barring any horrific reports of them being terrible, I am saving my pennies for one or two of these, though two of them might mean the cat goes hungry for a few months.
 
The above site seemed to present better in IE, versus Chrome, by the way.
