Yeah, having spent a bit of time tinkering with SL outside of PT this morning to make comparisons, I see what you're saying, a lot has changed lately. That got me wondering about a dual boot, but with only a 128 SSD in there it seems like an excessive waste of space if there's no big advantage to being back in SL when it comes to PT use.
Lion it is then I guess, unless anybody else chimes in with a dealbreaker.
