If you look at the full version of Cubase 5 you get convolution reverb, auto-tune, a huge number of plugins including synths and samplers, notation editing/printing, far more powerful MIDI editing (Cubase started 25 years ago as a MIDI-only sequencer for the Mac), multicore support (maybe Live 8 has this? Live 7 does
not). And it only costs $100 more than Live!
Live excels at real-time rearrangements of short snippets of audio and MIDI...it's a great tool for sketching things out. You can actually
jam with Live, recording everything you are doing as you go along. It's still the best DAW to use for live performances (as opposed to studio recording).
I'd say if your needs involve recording lots of audio tracks as well as complex MIDI sequencing, Cubase is definitely worth it.
