Yeah, a nice 13" Sony Vaio VPC-Z11V5E with i7 620M 2.66 GHz (4MB L3, 
1066MHz FSB), Full 1920x1080, 4GB RAM, 500GB(7200U/Min)... I'm really 
tempted.
But this would mean I'd have to leave the Mainstage/Logic road and invest 
first in PC Software.

Per, You really suggest I should invest >1000,-EUR in a Core2Duo MBP?
I think I'd rather wait for new CPU - don't think old platform can handle 
that much RAM.

So, if you think for Mainstage + Moebius live looping setup, USB will be 
fine, I guess I'll get a MacBook, then.
