I just started using song mode, and IMO for final song work it's quite
powerful. I start by writing my basic loops in phrase mode, chain them in
pattern chain, then convert that to a song. In song mode I use overdub in
all-record (omni?) mode to record track mutes, so I can build a song up and
break it down. I go in and put little fills here and there, et voila, a
real song (Instead of the 20 minute long, go-nowhere dub oddesies that I
end up writing in pattern mode) You also can do the mute recording in song
mode and then split the parts where you did nice things back into patterns
for pattern mode. It's just a matter of learning a new set of tools, but
like all tools, they definately have their use (or not, if you're not into
that kinda stuff)

It's nice, if only as a temporary arranging tool to set you up for song
mode. I would suggest giving it a look at the very least though.
