What style of music do you produce?
If you do alot of live inc instruments, vox, percussion & multi channel recording/editing etc.. Than Abelton, FL and Reason is perhaps not your software.
Pro Tools & Logic is the way to go. Every studio has it and with that said, these days a good studio should have everything. However, I havn't come across anyone yet who wanted to go and pay for studio time to use FL or Reason.
I am a trance producer, so for me using PT or Logic is just doing everything 100x slower but when I do record a violin or vocal for a track, I tend to resort to Soundforge or WaveLab for recording and editing the ruff bits. Once the track is finished in FL i send it of to a mastering studio as a complete track, pay $150 and get 3 different masters back.

I do hip-hop, and the way I figured it was that even if PT is a little slower than say, Reason or FL, for doing what I do it keeps me from ever having to learn a second program. There are a couple of things that are done in a slightly cumbersome manner but I figure that's because I still haven't mastered the program.
