Totally depends on what software you want to run. Although, you can dual boot to windows on a mac now. So, what it mainly comes down to two things IMHO:
1. Do you want to run software that is only available on a mac?
2. What's your budget? A good mac is expensive.

The way I look at it... Macs are for people that don't want to dick around. "It just works". You pay for that luxury though. PCs give you a lot more options software-wise, but aren't as stable IMO. They're obviously cheaper too.

I use a PC, because thats what all my software needs. If I was buying NEW... right now... I would probably buy a Mac, due to the recent price drop on Logic 8.

Sounds like you have already made up your mind.

That's totally up to you dude. We all have a different financial situation, so no one can really answer that question for you.

I'm going to assume that there is some type of currency conversion there and that that price is not in USD because you can get a Mac Pro that has absolutely everything you need for music production for under $3K. Plus logic pro 8 is only $500.

There is no such thing as "audio engine" it's a marketing term.
