Logic Express 9 + Jam Packs vs Logic Studio ???

I currently own Logic Express 9 and am considering buying some (or all) of the Jam Packs. I realize that if I buy a few of them then it would be cheaper to just upgrade to Logic Studio.
If I upgrade do I get "all" the Jam Packs? (is there 5 or 6?)
Do the Jam Packs get thrown in with the Logic Studio program when you install them or do you keep the jam packs on the individual dvd's until you want to use them?
Also, is there a big learning curve from Express 9 to Studio?
Is there anything else i should consider before making a decision?

Thanks

Logic Express and Logic Pro are the exact same application.

There is no learning curve - except for the slew of much better plug-ins that are included, including the vintage keyboards (which are "meh" in my opinion, but better than nothing), the excellent Space Designer, Delay Designer, Sculpture, etc. etc.

Studio comes with ALL Jam packs, plus Soundtrack Pro and the bunch of samples, jingles, and soundbeds that entails - all of which can be used in Logic.

You can select which Jam Packs to install during Logic Studio installation.

Honestly, if you're even thinking about buying more than one JamPack, save up for a month and get the Studio upgrade.

Really. It'd be silly not to.
