I'm not going to bother with Bluetooth or WiFi. Any difference in the "bootability" of 10.13.6 with BIOS F7 vs F5? Did you ever get an F5 working with that config?
On the interface topic, Yoshisakan and Mario, I hear ya' both. If I could build a studio from the ground up, –as much as I love the sound of my Apollo 8 Quad, I'd probably go with a PCIe based Dante-based system. IDK, maybe look at the Lynx or Hilo stuff. I'd build a lunch-box-type i/o and skip most plugins. I have a ton, but I keep going back to about five plugins. All the dough I've spent over the years could have gone towards a rebuilt Steinway or Mason & Hamlin.
I'd probably be happier with Logic had I not trained myself on Opcode Studio Vision Pro 3.5.6 (the best DAW ever made, then destroyed by Gibson), Sound Designer II 2.8.3, then my first Pro Tools 4.3 system back in the mid-1990's. I'm a die-hard Pro Tools guy for fast cutting. -I dislike using anything but a transport-type keyboard for recording and editing.
I think I ruined my workflow when I moved away from SVP. Music became more about updates and computer troubleshooting moving toward virtual instruments. SVP was a great middle ground and I could still run timecode to another deck if I needed more audio tracks. -
