I have demoed REAPER many times and tried so so hard to like it. The app is very well priced and has a decent feature-set, but I feel that it is very poorly designed. This probably comes down to the fact that they add a heap of tiny features with extremely quick, un-planned updates.

REAPER now is a pretty big mess when it comes to menus, preferences, general workflow and usability, at least that's how I feel about it. In addition, it lacks good MIDI editing, elastic audio and a few other very important features.

Studio One is a breath of fresh air, and pretty much works just like Cubase in many aspects. Though, it's still a pretty new program and lacks things like Elastic Audio, which are really REALLY useful for music production. I think that this DAW could be a true contender in the near future.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on these 2 DAWs.

I still personally believe that the biggest contenders are Cubase, Logic and possibly Live

...reviewed very favourably in this month's SOS

I've been tossing up whether to move from Live to Cubase 5 and have come to the conclusion that all DAW's are good enough to get your musical ideas down, and thats what is really important....
