I normally look at it like this:.... If you are asking this question, you will be better off with Cubase.
PT is a commercial program and it is firmly entrenched in the pro studio scene. This market is a bit like a large ship and will take a long time to change direction even when the call is made.
PT has draw backs like price, proprietary plug-ins (also expensive) and currently no ability to automatically correct time delays added by plug-ins.
Current versions of Cubase and Sonar, are both excellent with audio and midi and you can export your tracks into a format that can then be used on PT, if the need should ever arise.
Looking at the list of programs you have been running, it becomes apparent that you are jumping from a pedal car into an F1 car. You will be blown away by the performance of Cubase.
Don't skimp on the PC! Minimum specs are just sales gimmicks...go for the 'recommended' specs or better.
