I've been dividing my time between machines with and without FloTools for over 
6 months and have found it easy, largely because of how FloTools feels like a 
natural augmentation rather than a redefining of PT for me, though I'm sure 
that will vary from person to person.
I'm finding a really useful logic to the FloTools key commands.

It is way down the list of things that cost me time and money when swapping 
studios unfortunately
