Chris, my advice would be to stick with one daw and learn it well enough to fly around it. Otherwise you'll end up like me, dabbling in different daws and not getting really fluent with any one of them.
I'm now a logic guy but have been on this list and have been using Tools since version 8. and, they have both got their strengths and weaknesses. But, for us guys, accessibility is king right? and tools has it down, butLogic is fast catching up. I think that working on a single song in 2 daws complicates all kinds of things. However, the virtual instruments in Logic are really good, not all of them are accessible though, and if you're into working with loops there are a gazillion of those. You might want to have a play with garageband and imagine you've got a proper mixer like Pro Tools, and that's basically logic. You'll be able to do that for free and try recording etc before you drop the 200 bucks. But, for me, I wouldn't do it unless I was pretty serious about making it my main daw. Just my opinion.
