The PreSonus forum is full of requests for help. At PreSonus, FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions. All answers are printed in invisible ink, and only fanboys are given access to the magic glasses. At least with the flip of a coin, you've got a 50/50 chance.
 
They are good at one thing, though...banning peeps like me for complaining about never getting a response...after more than a year of asking...nicely, at first.

I have to admit I'm surprised that there aren't faster responses on the demo forum; that's future revenue if handled correctly...

Answered your own question.

Remember back when Presonus entered the DAW game and people went on and on about how it's so refreshing to have a responsive developer team with an up and coming product ready to challenge the DAW Dinosaurs?  
 
Well, that was a LONG time ago (both time-wise and reality-wise).

I'm not as gushing about Studio One as some but is is a good and useful DAW. I don't recall using a demo of it thus I can't answer any questions about that version. What you may think about doing is look hard at Artist to see if its style is something you can deal with. Later move to Professional to get all its features if you like it. It wont replace Sonar but can be useful in mastering as well as remote recording and mixing.
 
As far as stability it is stable but I believe Sonar is more stable. For me Sonar is near bullet proof. Studio One is a very good sounding easy to use DAW with some major limitations.
