Clearly we're talking about different things - I'm not sure which window or controller you're getting your results from in LP8, but if I adjust the track automation in the Arrange page whilst using your starting points, I get the following displayed:
starting -10.5dB > 10.9 > 11.2 > 11.6 >12.0 > 12.4 > 12.8
starting -18.5dB > 19.0 > 19.6 > 20.2
Not even close to the 1dB to 2dB jumps you're experiencing.
I'm assuming the guys at Logic are using some kind of logarithmic scale to produce results, so it's hardly surprising that the resolution is not so fine at the lower (and generally lesser used volumes). Up in the area where the ear is more discerning about volume change (and where the majority of mixers are doing their critical work), the resolution is as high as 0.1dB per step.
I've not used Cubase in the last 12 years - does it really have super fine ( say, 0.1dB steps) resolution all the way down to -30dB?
