for starters, I know that people are reporting cubase doing fine with 24 cores (dual hexacore + hyperthreading)

Hey, I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't buy the best computer you can get. And surely doing research to make the best educated decision is the right thing to do. But really, the best you can do is make an educated guess, and it's all because of the nature of the beast: it's extremely rare that news about an upcoming Logic version is ever leaked. New versions appear when they appear. And there's no guarantee that in the next version of Logic (whether it comes 6 months from now or 2 years from now) that the kinds of improvements you're hoping for will be implemented.

There's no guarantee how many cores are going to be supported, it was my contention a few months ago that only the base hardware cores would be supported (at least visually in Logic) and that hyper threading would be relegated to an invisible background task. Not invisible performance wise but as far as Logic monitoring the output.

Memory definitely is important, but there are things that are CPU heavy and once you have enough memory the CPU becomes the bottleneck.
And Logic is definitely going to be more efficient on a quad (with ht) than an eight core machine, on the former it will use all available cores while on the latter only half of them.
