What kinds of projects might you be doing? What's your background? Logic may not be what you want, indeed, but this is truly apples and oranges (excuse pun), so $600 for Logic may be your best bet -- or $200 for a light Cubase, $300 for Live, etc., depending on what you want to do. Then again, best bet may be go ahead and get iLife, try it, and see what your needs are -- just as some people fall in love with iMovie while others use it for a while and realize Final Cut is what they need.
