Logic Pro Vrs. Digital Performer, features? scoring capabilties? Options

[chagos]

greetings all,

I am getting ready to do a bit of a drastic change in the studio. I'm bswitching from a Pro Tools based studio to more of a MIDI enviromnet.

I'm looking into either Logic Pro or Digital Performer to be the main workhorse, and I'll keep a Pro Tools LE rig on the side for everything else.

I mainly do sound design and film scoring/music.
I am somewhat new to Logic since the last version I used was 5.5.1 and I have never used DP.

I am semi-pro, working on many indie films, games and animations.

I have been using Pro Tools, Live, and Reason together for the last few years, but the time has come to get a more sturdy midi program. Almost all of my work is done exclusively through MIDI, mostly by softsynths or plug ins(hence the reason I am moving over pro tools)

I'm mainly just wondering what everyones opinions are on the two sequencers I mentioned. Should I go for Logic or DP?

I've read about both and they both seem to get pretty good reviews, and they both would do the job I need them for. So, i guess I would just like some user feedback.

do both have timecode?
does DP support most plug ins( example: native instruments)?
do both bounce to quicktime?
do they both support 5.1 surround routing and mixing?
rewire?

Any information on either of these would be great, as I am really cautious about a change like this.

Thanks so much for the help. Its appreciated.

(oh, i'll be using os x.3.9, G5, etc.)

bloody hell,
now i am so confused i don't know what to get!

as i said, they both look really good.
Logic has all the free plugs in, but DP is about $400 cheaper.

Logic has a steep learning curve(sorry guys. that is the consensus on every logic forum i go to), but Digital Performer is a CPU hog.
pros and cons . . . .

both have amazing features, and both do 5.1.

what is a guy suppose to do??????
damn you money! the bane of every musician!!!

does anyone know where to find Logic pro cheap? I found many deals on DP, still looking around for Logic.

thanks for the unbiased replies everyone. Its appreciated. At this point both seem fantastic, so I am looking for that one small thing that will push one above the other. Hopefully I'll find it.
