I prefer mixing in Logic rather than ProTools... but that's mainly because of my particular workflow and also because after using Logic for 10 years, I can push it to its limits. If you decide to look at Logic as a mixing/editing alternative to ProTools, you're going to have to forget about a lot of what you know in ProTools. Operations are 'different' between the two softwares, but you can pretty much achieve the same results depending on your skill level. I've had very experienced PT engineers watch me record, edit and mix in Logic, and be amazed at my speed. I've been using PT since it was ProDeck and ProEdit, so I am pretty experienced myself in PT's software capablilties... But what I really love in Logic is its customizability. I have a HUGE working environment in Logic which is custom fit to me like a glove... But it took me many years to hone and develop my own working style...

Sorry to get so deep!!!

Again, if you're thinking about Logic, just have an open mind. But I've produced and mixed many records on Logic with no issues. Their included plugins/instruments sound GREAT, and on a Dual G5, you'll have IMMENSE power at your fingertips.
