Sans2012, you certainly won't regret going for Ableton live, that thing's the cream of audio/midi sequencing - no doubt about it. I use it as a test-bed for the VST/VSTI's because the routing on it is simply out of this world :-)

I'll certainly let you know what I think of your tracks, I'll download them tonight and post here tomorrow - I'm no music critic though - lol

As for the VST's, they're not in consumer accessible form (no front end), and can only be used on custom built studio setups. Been working on a consumer release but can't find the funding for decent piracy protection, so everything's on hold.

The wait can be horrific, but the outcome can be worse - pumeco 2006
