My workflow seems to be evolving in this direction: To me, it integrates perfectly with the way I think and write. Ableton's brilliance shines in the chart-type triggering. I've always written chart style, and as soon as I got my hands on Ableton, it just made sense to edit/writes my music in this fashion. You can do great demos with it, but Logic has much better plugins included. You can fully get by on Logic, whereas you can get by on Ableton, but not nearly to the extent that you can with Logic.Ībleton is a DAW-like instrument. It's also a lot cheeper (for the full deal), and is the way to go if you're on a Mac. Ableton has no comping options, and can be tedious when it comes to recording audio tracks.

If you only want/can afford one program, Logic Studio is definitely the way to go. I totally agree with what MuzikB is saying.
