Honestly, I don't think someone is going to mix appreciably better in PT than they would on an SSL. The results are always shockingly similar.

For the most part you mix at the top end of your ability, the top end of the material's potential and are only hit a glass ceiling on very poor gear. Especially if you are talking about digital mixing. You can take a 2000 dollar rig--computer, monitors, software--and get awesome mixes... if you are an awesome mixer.
