Sonar 4 or Cubase LE 1.9 please HELP!!

[maurolin]

I am in a HUUGE Dilema with the software.

I own a firepod and I am looing to buy a surface controller. I will either get Steinbergs HOUSTON or Tascam FW-1082. I use Sonar 4 for recording now... any ideas or advice?? I have Cubase Le but I have not installed it. I know HOUSTON DOES NOT work with Sonar 4, but the main question... Which software is better? I have Sonar 4 Producers and Cubase LE 1.9 . I am a begginner recording, but I'd like to learn a software that is STANDARD and many people (majority USE.)
Why pick Sonar 4Over Cubase Le??? Is the Hudson a good deal for $200??
PLease reply here or send me an email mlinero@tampabay.rr.com I have to make up my mind in 2 days!!!
THANK YOU!

HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND CUBASE.
