I'm not passing judgment on what you've got - the Nords are fine 
tools that will allow you to do lots of things the XL won't. I'm just 
saying, you've got a good start, now spend some time learning what 
you can do with what you have before you worry about what you don't 
have.

The Modular can easily suck up all your time and energy, so be 
prepared when you do take it out of the box.

Or, don't sell it until you're sure you aren't going to use it and 
need something else instead.

True, and while Logic and DP have some differences, they're more 
similar than not. Either one would fill those needs and then some. 
Which is better for you is something that will take some thought, 
research, and experience to determine.
