I don’t find PPro on the Mac to be unstable. Sometimes Dynamic Link gets wonky on app startup, but an app restart always seems to fix that. Make sure you have lots of RAM.
PPro will be an easy transition from FCP. You can always use the other tools in the Suite, regardless of which NLE you end up using. So it’s not a wasted investment in time or money.
Daniel had good thoughts above, I’d add that if your work isn’t ((some catch-all for stuff that’s mostly cuts n’ dissolves)), you should get the demo of Smoke 2013 that comes out in June…. big BIG news there.
So I’d suggest if your version of FCP isn’t coming with you from the old job to get the new job to buy Production Suite, and see what transpires over the next several months.

Brave? I’d call it downright professional and responsive to their customers’ concerns. Hello, Apple? knock, knock… Apple….. anyone listening….?

Very much appreciate the reply, Dennis!
Have a great NAB!

Okie dokey:
– Copy and paste clip parameters onto other clips?
– Can you save favorites, like filter presets & transitions, in a project bin?
– What (new) 3rd party plugin devs are on board, ESPECIALLY to create transition plugins? For example, it would be awesome to have FxFactory show up in PPro.
– Clip-based automated audio gain? (instead of track based)
– Search timeline for clip names, selected clips can then be acted upon (see Q#1 above).
– Nested sequences that can retain their (preview) render status. Eg; I had a project recently that had dozens of greenscreen + graphics segments that combined in different ways to create 21 30-minute vids. In FCP, as the render files are maintained, I only needed to render the composites once, and all the renders flowed to the resultant sequences, saving a HUGE (monster) amount of render time.

Someone at the P2 factory probably wired the memory wrong…. got the hot leads swapped on the audio. Happens all the time. I think if you put the card in backwards it’ll fix it.

pretty much in order of desire:
– a rock-your-socks off CS6 PPro
– transition plugins for above from FXFactory, et al
– some moderately priced PL prime lenses to compete with Zeiss CP
– an inexpensive wireless follow focus
– something really cool no one has thought of before“Constituo, ergo sum”

My fingers are SO crossed hoping for an Adobe CS6 PPro home run….
