Nice hearing you are a DP user! I've been looking at that app many times and been thinking that if a day comes when I get a lot of film music work I shall buy it. I agree with you that it is good to use several DAWs. But I have a slightly different view; I don't think it is a smart time investment trying to "learn a DAW". Regarding Logic, in particular, it would be a direct mistake trying to "learn Logic". What you should put energy into learning is how to produce music and sound. The DAW is just a tool. And with Logic every standard trick of the sound design cook book can be done in several alternative ways; it just doesn't make sense to learn them all. Just pick the method of Logic's that best gets the job done for you - and stick with that tool.
