Logic Pro 8 vs 9

Can anyone find a comparison chart of 8 vs 9. The Flex tool seems like it is a great improvement, but I want to see what else I get for an upgrade. I don't want to upgrade right away for one great feature, and suffer from bugs and issues like I did from 7 to 8.

Another aspect of upgrading is: Since I have Logic Studio 8, and I only use Logic Pro (I don't use Wave Burner, Mainstage, or Soundtrack Pro), are the samples in Logic Pro 9 the same as in Logic 8. Therefore Logic Express 9 plus what I already have from Logic Studio 8, give me the upgraded features of Logic 9? Kinda long winded, but dreading another 6 hour install and extra funds.

Just an update, I spoke with a sales rep at Apple, she stated that Logic Express 9 app and the Logic Pro App of the Studio Suite are actually the same. The other apps in the suite are useless to me since I don't play live or guitar. So I'll just Update to Logic Express 9, and use the content from Logic Studio 8. Perfect for me. Hope this helps anyone out there.

Found this on Macworld webpage

A new version of Apple’s $199 Logic Express will ship in August. It lacks Logic Studio’s professional features such as support for Digidesign’s Pro Tools TDM hardware, surround sound production, distributed audio processing (the ability to have multiple Macs devoting their horsepower to a Logic project), and professional control surfaces (computer-controlled mixers). It also lacks Apple’s Jam Packs, any of the additional applications, the space and delay designer components, and the Sculpture, EVB3 Tonewheel Organ, EVD6 Clavinet, and EVP88 Electric Piano synths.

Oh well, guess I'll be getting the whole suite again.
