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

If you read the Logic versions comparison charts on the Emagic site, that details everything that will be in Pro. It's basically Logic Platinum plus every instrument Emagic have produced up to and including Space Designer. There will inevitably be new products from Emagic, one of which is rumoured to be this drum machine that's got everyone so hot under the collar.

Logic Pro blows Reason away. To have it all in one program is absolutely amazing - every kind of musical tool you're likely to ever need. If there's anything missing, plug it in! I have both Logic Platinum 6 (and all the extras) and Reason and I never use Reason any more. Yes, it's a cool program - I just don't need to use it any more. I actually prefer third-party synths occasionally for a new dimension - Albino, VirSyn Tera, the Spectrasonics trio.

For drums (apart from buying a few REX CDs and dropping them into the EXS24 in Logic), why not try LinPlug's RMIV (that's RM 4 in Roman numerals)? I just got a copy recently and it's a pretty full-featured drum machine. Does just what Emagic's fabled creation will do, probably. Or if you want to start smaller, try Ritmo from Manyetas software - another drum machine, also pretty good, but more basic.

Hope that helps.
