Reason Vs Logic 6 Pro Synths/plugins?, "Noob" question- can logic's synths comp Options

[whish]

Ok- I understand that the main uses of each program is different, and that there are some (if not many) things that each can and cannot do that the other can, but I was wondering about the "sound creating abilities" of both as a whole.
I don't yet own either program, but was wondering if the synths and plugins in the upcoming Logic 6 PRO version are of any comparison or competition to that which Reason offers. Basically- could I simply buy Logic PRO and accomplish the same things on it's collection of synths, etc. without ever making anything in Reason.
I know it's commonplace to make sounds in Reason and import them to other "more professional" sequencers- but in terms of quality and so as to not waste money on redundant "equipment" purchases- is Reason still the way to go when creating sounds- or is Logic PRO's collection enough of an "arsenal"?

By the way- in case it matter at all- I'm definitely ordering Logic, but don't know if I need Reason for anything- and also what music I'm inspired by most, and might be most similar to in "feel" is music in the same vein as Nine Inch Nails, Prick, VAST, Tricky, Bjork, A Perfect Circle, Radiohead, etc.
Also- I'm more interested in guitars than "blips and bleeps" and making odd, previously unheard or unfamiliar sounds, and throwing them all together to get your head nodding.
Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Corey

Corey,

I am slowly and gradually being pushed into buying some form of Logic - only because it will make it easier to work with other friends who use it in their studios. In my experience I have found that Logic is anything but logical for many simple functions. Most people I know (all very technically capable with full studios and lots of software experience) have taken anywhere from weeks to months to learn and configure Logic in a way that they're comfortable with.

The Logic synths DO sound great, btw. They seem decent/easy to program, but I've been programming various synths for 16 years now, and have no idea what your experience is with sound design.

The VST synths out there will do far more than cover what the current Reason devices will do, but you can make interesting/useful sounds in any of these packages. A lot of it comes down to: your technical needs, your experience, and what your creative process is - which is often closely tied in to how the interface is designed. I certainly hope you enjoy your purchase - and I'd be very curious to hear your experiences with it.

all the best,

thatant.
