JR, have you tried using the MPEX2 algorithm set to 1 (monophonic)? I find it extremely good for dialogue. Setting of 4 (polyphonic) is also great for polyphonic stuff like music editing.


@ OP:

Pros:
clip-gain (used to be a PT deal-breaker for me, now I got used to it and it's not a big deal),
offline processing history (as we do less and less things offline, this is becoming less important).

Cons:
You cannot draw (in less than 6 clicks) an accurate horizontal automation line in Nuedno!!!!! - There is a tool that draws a straight line, but your hand has to be pixel accurate for the value at the beginning and the one at the end to be the same.

I work closely with three (currently two) editors that use both programs equally, and they slightly prefer PT for editing. Maybe one of them chimes in?
