I've looked at quite a few DAw compare sites to determine which DAWs i buy, but most of them seem to be misinformed on alot of capabilities. I like usuing multiple daws however Sonar is my favorite. 
Take a look at

What do yall think on the subject? its not just Sonar that they have misinformation on, it seems to be a normal thing and always biased towards a side.
 
Just irritates me because it makes some of the good Daws look bad when they really arent.

Sites like that are just excuses for ads. They do nothing but compare published features, often doing so poorly, as you mentioned. What would be far more useful, but would require actual work and skill to accomplish, would be to nominate a recording/mixing/mastering project and use the DAWs under comparison to complete each song, start to finish. I think something like that would give you a great deal more useful information to base a selection decision on.

I've never put much stock in any of the DAW comparison sites.  everyone I've seen have been biased on certain DAWs or biased on certain features in order to skew the results, or at least that was my perception of what they were doing.  plus, as Maartian says, most of them also are an excuse for advertising, and therefore they're biased just based on making money on it.

Beagle rates his DAW's by the chew test. 

lol glad im not the only one who recognized these things. considering Audacity seems to always win these DAW compares as well. which is actually a great FREE program lol ill give it that.

I liked to use human test subjects. I'd talk with DAW users about the things they loved, hated, and what drove them crazy about their DAW. Rather than compare one against the other, I figured they each had some pros and cons and it was a matter of selecting which one had the pros I wanted and the cons I could tolerate. I watched a friend of mine torture himself endlessly trying to use Cubase, so I knew I didn't want to go down that road. His workarounds got in the way of his production and wasted tremendous amounts of time. Macs were too expensive for me, so products based on that platform were off my list. I went through a number of people before I decided I had enough information. When I go to Sonar, I felt that it had the features and capabilities I wanted without the dongle/stability issues of Cubase. For me, it was the right solution. I haven't regretted it. 

The good thing is you can always Demo for free the different DAW's and see what suits your fancy. I just don't have time to learn a new system and me being a creature of habit, I've been sticking with Cakewalk since Pro Audio 9.
 
Once you go Cake, you never go bake?   

Heh Heh, Beagle said skew.
 
Oh, I thought there was an 'r' in there. My bad. 

BTW to the OP. I don't read comparisons either.
 

I bought the non-commercial Reaper because I was intrigued by the idea that a track was anything you wanted it to be (including a bus). That was about the extent of my using it. I could not get behind their paradigm.
 
I bought into Studio One because of sales. I like the look but I had some troubles with MIDI that I did not want to spend more than an hour on. I have not upgraded to V3. Probably won't.
 
I bought Harrison Mixbus as a mastering environment. Stopped using the 32bit version when certain 32bit plugins didn't behave. Waited on Mixbus 3. Bought it. Have only played with it for about an hour. Waiting 3.1 when ASIO support is better as well as better VST support.
 
Pro Tools has zero allure to me.
