I love Ableton too.
But I'm not as thrilled as some of you seem to be about the new features. IMHO, Live 7 was more revolutionary. Sidechaining, drum racks, slicer, REX support, and better audio and MIDI engines. Plus the Suite concept for the first time.
Max for Live is a whole seperate to be paid for seperate thing. I'm not into rocket science, so Max does not appeal much to me.
Collision seems very limited, I'm fricking sick of vocoders and latin percussion is as exciting as watching 'The Divine Secret of the Ya-Ya sisterhood' (fell asleep watching this snoozefest chickflick with wife at the movies years ago).
The crossfades and group tracks are appreciated but still basic compared to other DAWs, who have a whole bunch of predefined bezier curves and stuff to take full advantage. Looper - yes, it might appeal to some for a week or two, but is not that massive a deal. They finally include a brickwall limiter, but I already own 3 or 4 way superior 3rd party offerings.
Still - I will probably update if I can scrape a few coins together and I will always love Live for being the most creative tool around that allows me to compose at all.
