Trance/Techno music making program. Logic vs Fruity

[Dr. Strangelove]

So what are your opinions? Fruity (Fl Studio) is easy to use and quite cheap.

But Logic's work-flow, while more complicated, is insanely feature-rich, so if you need to do some kind of weird editing operation, not only will Logic handle it, but there will be five different ways to do so. Its also quite expensive when you pretty much NEED that midi keyboard to get the most out of it.

What are your opinions. Which one should I get?

Try out the demo of both and see what one you like better. The misconception with DAWs is that one can be better than another. This really isn't true because the DAW primarily determines workflow, and the DAW you pick will likely reflect the workflow you like best. A lot of the more advanced features of DAWs are typically irrelevant to new users, and even if they weren't, many of these advanced features can be achieved with an audio editor like audacity. My point is that you can achieve the same results with any decent DAW granted that you know what you're doing.

Other factors to take into consideration with DAWs is what you need. I do a lot of live recording, so a DAW with a good take system is preferred. If I was just planning on composing everything note by note, I wouldn't really need or care about this feature.

My suggestion is to try out a bunch and see what you like best. If you really are liking a less used DAW, don't be afraid to stick with it.
