You can use M audio Interfaces with LE and connect and convetors you want too. PT was not first in the game it was NED Synclaver.
A Native computer is a long way off for 150+ tracks + 250 plug-ins with no stress on the system. My HD 7 Accel is way far off from a future native system power.
Have you used Nuendo? I know a great engineer who calls himself an "old fart" and after I got him into Nuendo, he doesn't see how he ever used PT which is the system he had in his studio for five years. There is just so many limitations with PT, its not nearly as slick and fast as Nuendo. So many people use it because its the standard, and that says nothing about the software itself. Basically, any time I go to PT I'm always saying to myself "great, I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this.." where as when I have to use a lot of other DAWs like Samplitude and Sonar, its a lateral move. I'm surprised that people who made such a huge investment weren't enraged that their DAW didn't become plugin delay compensated for 2 years after most Native systems did. Different strokes..
