so you can tell the difference between a vid clip of a gonzo blow job edited with vegas or FPC, for 3x the cost and effort? I doubt very seriuously if a surfer could or would even care.
and the bottom line for content production is ROI. I'm not really seeing the ROI on a mac/FPC system to be honest about it.... to each his own though. $.02

It all depends on what the end result would be. For the majority of content I have seen thus far, FCP would be overkill because a lot of content just isn't deliberately shot using any of the rules in film making.
FCP projects can be imported into Premiere Pro CS4 complete with transitions, effects, etc...
Will the surfer be able to tell or care? Who knows. But there is a reason Andrew Blake's material looks the way it does and garners more second looks instead of just being seen as a skin flick.
While ROI is always key in any business, knowing how to squeeze the return is dependent on knowing how to maximize your system. I have seen great work done with Vegas but it was accomplished by someone who had a ton of years of editing experience and even then, they had to rely on other apps to make up for Vegas' shortcomings.
Again, if it works for you, awesome. NLE's are merely tools in a toolbox. Its the editor and their vision that uses their tools to create beautiful art.
