You can also just drag the track size up or down. Or you can adjust all the tracks at once from the zoom controls in the lower right hand corner of the track view (the control you want is in between the magnifying glasses).
Probably Sonar's biggest failing at this point is lack of a good, organized online documentation. Like a lot of companies that do frequent feature updates, they're not always completely on top of integrating new info into the online help system -- or making it easy to find.
I've been on a kick to fill in the gaps in my knowledge and I often find myself thinking, gee, what Sonar needs is
blah blah blah... only to find that it had it and I just didn't know it was there.

Anyhow, whichever DAW ware you end up with, you might consider picking up a second monitor (and either a dual mon video card or just a second video card if you've got the extra slots). Even a smallish second monitor can give you a lot more flexibility.
I just saw a 15" LCD at Compusa for only $100 (after like $150 in rebates, mind you). Two CRT's can crank up some ambient heat, so an LCD or two will keep things cooler.
