Agreed. Maybe 10 years ago there was a significant reason to invest into a more expensive system. But now...

That said, about 10 years ago I bought Cubase VST and it only had one level of undo I actually "downgraded" to Acid for that reason alone and stayed with the program for years until Cubase 4 came out. There's still certain things about Acid that I haven't found as user-friendly in Cubase, but I love my mixer which integrates with Cubase so I can live with the minor things.

I'd say try out as many different programs as you can, see which one fits your style, and (ideally, if you can afford it) have a machine built matching the specs the program recommends. You can't really go wrong that way.
