In response to the OP, I am very happy with Sonar X2. I've been one of those lucky ones who has had almost no issues going all the way back to Pro Audio 5, and I think X2 is the best yet. My biggest gripes are the lack of improvements to the staff view and the removal of color customization, but I use Panu's Duckbar to take care of that one. (Thanks, Panu!)Other than that, I really like X2, especially the Pro Channel.
