Also jumping ship from Vegas

I'm exploring my options right now since getting burned by Vegas on a recent paying project where I"m now losing money due to its inability to handle large files on the trimeline without seizing up.

I'm looking at Avid, Edius and have previous experience with PPro.

I've heard some positive info on Edius, but I can't seem to wrap my head around how the demo works, and I want to get up to speed pretty fast.

My work entails cuts and dissolves with titles and I am usually tweaking audio in a separate audio editing application.

How do you take a clips audio track out to edit sparately and then bring it back in to Edius? That was one feature I liked about Vegas and could do with RT editing in PPro with Audition.

Is the codec used in Edius comparable to Avid's DNxHD the Cineform Codec?

I'm a one man shooter/editor shop and want something I can rely upon. PPro is the least expensive, Edius is the middle ground and Avid is the most expensive. Vegas burned me and I won't be going back to it and need some advice on this issue for my work.
