Samplitude V8 verses Sonar 5

[Mindset]

I just purchased Samplitude V8, and already have Sonar 5, both professional versions. I was wondering if anybody can tell me which program is better. I know it also depends on the user preferences, but yeah... I like what Sonar 5 has to offer, but haven't even cracked into Samplitude yet, maybe by tomarrow I'll try it out....

I use Sonar and love it probably because of the ease of use BUT I know some Professional recording engineers that have told me to learn how to use Samplitude and that it is so much better,could be just preference?I did however ask them if I could get the same sounding results w/Sonar and their response was absolutely.

Samplitude is a much better choice, IMHO.Between object based mixing (being able to apply any effect to any piece of audio non destructively), latency compensation for all plugins, and a few other things, Samp/Sequoia is phenomenal..

I just got finished reading a few articles on Samplitude, and everyone also says its one of the best out there... Now I know that Sonar 5 has, and I've included, a variety of effects/plug-in's. Does the majority of the plug-in's & effects capable of being used by Samplitude? I just opened up the program, and didn't find much effects (I will continue reading the manual all the way through).
