This is from another forum.
It's veracity is something that I cannot account for:

Nuendo has many advantages over Pro Tools:
200+ tracks
Support for third-party DSP cards
Distributed processing (linking computers for unlimited DSP power)
Non-partitioned DSP (no chip limitations on plug-in size)
Simultaneous editing of multiple events (speeds up drum editing)
Overlapping events
Snap-to-zero
Mixer presets
Offline processes such as Envelope
Offline Process History and Track Freeze, with unlimited undo
Full MIDI capabilities
Customizable hardware control
Open architecture, open standards, and support for third-party hardware
AES-31 support for universal file exchange
32-bit floating-point mixer
Support for 32-bit float files and stereo interleaved files
Pro Tools is advertised as a "fully 48-bit mixer." In reality, the plug-in bus is only 24 bits, and crossfades and offline processes are done at 24 bits. Every time you add a plug-in or process a track, you lose resolution. When you add a plug-in on a group or on the stereo bus, you lose even more resolution. Pro Tools is sonically inferior to most native DAW's.
Nuendo has a 32-bit floating point mixer. Crossfades, offline processes, and mix renders are also done at 32-bit floating point. You never lose resolution.
