logic also can do some amazing things with timing. I love live up until then, as long as everything is little clips it's the perfect creative environment, but when it's time to have 10 or 12 tracks of audo lined up (and staying lined up!) i feel more comfortable in logic. I tend to tweak the midi and the presets the whole time, and only dump it to disk somewhere near the end of the process. that leaves him as the king of 700mb wav recordings that get chopped up - he works with audio files from very early on. The guy i do a lot of sound work with had a dedicated protools machine with some insane number of ins, like 26 (yes, insane for a home studio with maybe 20 outs including the A/D interface in the coffeemachine, not insane for a recording studio) so he runs various rme interfaces into that and all kinds of outboard routing. i record everything over logical ins & outs on 1-2 pcs - so on my main box, and sometimes the mac mini gets to pitch in - and i just never quite feel comfortable with big sound files in ableton. I think the question is largely what you do and how you do it.

Then I take them over to logic for the final arrangement (usually just midi unless there was something that i really liked on ableton plugins in which I'll tend to bounce it from Ableton and take it over as a soundfile.) and the final tweaking. I write tracks in live, until they're about 90% done. Managing a 10 different drum patterns is a humongous pain in Logic, but if you have those patterns, and are ready to mixdown, then Logic is extremely comfortable. Logic is the opposite, all it does is arrangement view, but it does an excellent job of it. The beauty of Ableton is session view and the way you can massage your midi until you have just the right set of patterns and then take that to the arrangement view.
What I do find impossible in Logic is beatsmithing. Resource management is part of the game, and I don't find it any harder on Logic than it is in Live. On the subject of overload, it's the case with _any_ DAW that if you don't watch your resources it'll kill your system. As someone who's been using Logic and Ableton both for a while, I don't think you can compare them very easily.
