I went with a MacPro for 2 reasons
1) Thunderbolt (I went with a pegasus thunderbolt raid and a Matrox MAX)
2) Our IT department abuses PCs and overloads them with all the required applications and permission settings. They don’t touch the macs (although, if something breaks, I’m responsible, which I’m fine with).
I haven’t even loaded FCP on the new systems. I do keep the old ones around for the rare instance I need to open a FCP project, and the export to XML for Premiere works quite well.

I’ve had good luck with the “replace footage” command. As long as the audio in the files lines up identically, you can go in the bin and just replace with the new file.

It will be lagging. I went from a 2008 Macpro to a Late 2013 and there was a huge difference.
You can trial Premiere Pro CC for 30 days and it can be installed next to Final Cut without issue.
As someone who went from FCP to Premiere, the integration between all of the various other Adobe programs makes it a huge benefit to upgrade.

You can right click on the clip in the timeline and adjust the gain which will lower the waveforms as well, but this sounds like the original file is just over modulated to begin with. Have you tried listening to it outside of premiere?

The big difference between the business/teams and an individual account is that the individual account cannot be reassigned to another user. I manage a team of accounts and as people come and go I can delete and create a new user to the team. You cannot do that with individual accounts.

The license cannot be used in more than 2 places at the same time. If there are 2 “registered” computers, it will not allow a third until one of the 2 are unregistered.
Since you are using 2 computers full time, each should probably have their own license. If the 3rd computer is regularly used as well, it should probably have it’s own license too.

I use a pegasys R4 thunderbolt array set up with redundancy in case a drive fails. I put everything on it, projects, media, cache, with the exception of the auto-save. I save that on a different drive in case something catastrophically fails.

Check the sequence settings in After Effects. I’ve had some strange things happen when the footage doesn’t match the sequence, but after effects thinks it should.

It may also have to do with when you “save” that is when it creates the file. When you change something, then it is actually “custom”, until you save it again.

The new Digital Juice service has quite a few neat items.
By the way, upgrade to Premiere CC. It’s night and day compared to CS6. The CC version is way more intuitive versus CS6
