I just went through this process and ultimately did what one of the previous posted suggested. I bought Media100 and FCP. I tried using both, but ultimately my eight years of experience on a Media100 won out. I just couldn’t be nearly as productive on FCP as I can on M100. The new M100 is a huge improvement over the Media100i 7.5 system I came from, plus I use Boris heavily, so its even better that Boris owns M100 now. So I say go with M100!
