anybody using CW software other than sonar, HS or pro audio?

I'm just wondering if anybody has anything good (or bad) to say about some of the other cakewalk programs avaiable. There are progs like p5, pyro, plasma, kinetic etc but you don't hear much about them.

Maybe some of you read the cakewalk forums as well but i'm still gonna ask....

if any of you are p5 users, how does it stack up against reason. I'm really leaning towards reason just because it looks easier to to use but i'm willing to be persuaded....

Reason is good, but I wouldn't call it easy to use. I have not used P5.

Reason slaved via Rewire into Sonar works, but you only get 14 addressable tracks which is a bit sucky.

Q.

regarding sonar, home studio and plasma:

Is home studio just a stripped down version of sonar, and plasma a stripped down version of home studio?

If so, plasma must be a piece of s%$%. Not to be skeptical but it must really be watered down. I wonder what it's sales are like.
