If the tools are there - why limit yourself? 
The nub CS easily integrates with your DAW of choice and so benefits from all the the extra flexibility and (visual) precision afforded, record multitude patterns to the CS and mix from there, away from the PC, or compose on the CS and record the automation via DAW. Use VST Synths/samplers in parallel, and multitrack using the tons of high quality VST FX out there. Best of all worlds really.

Alternatively, one can struggle for years with a rack full of antiques in the hope that somehow the results will be more 'authentic' or whatever. 

Cheers,
