You can do a lot on Premiere Pro. Controls feel precisionlike and you get a feeling of accuracy. Here Vegas could improve (like making it easier to make small value changes etc).
Lars,
Just in case you're not aware of it.
Keeping the Ctrl key down while dragging a slider or moving the mouse wheel will make Vegas to apply a small factor when it adjusts values. This is very handy to make adjustments with very small increments. It works almost everywhere the native Vegas interface widgets are used :FXs, mixer, pan/crop, track motion, etc.
For new ones using .NET like Velvet Matter FXs and ProType we miss this feature.

1) Premiere Pro on my machine is very reliable, I can always rely on it to crash at the worst times. I sure as heck don't get the "feeling of accuracy," it's more like "impending doom" just waiting to see if the next mouse click is going to lock it up or simply make it disappear. That's a fun and exciting way to edit! My Vegas renders always work just fine regardless of the format.
2) I'm running a three-year old Quad-core machine and my HD previews don't stutter or hiccup. When playing layered video or video with a lot of CPU-intensive filters the frame rate simply slows down as I would expect.
Something is going on in the background on your machine that's causing the stutters and hiccups. There may be something buggy about Vegas, but it isn't the least bit buggy on my machine and it is on yours. That's a mystery.
I own the latest versions of Avid and Premiere but I only edit in the when forced at gunpoint. One of the main reasons that we can edit faster in Vegas than Premiere or Avid is that it doesn't abruptly stop playback when you change a value. I find this tremendously useful. My brother is a world-class, Emmy Award winning Avid editor but he edits in Vegas on his own projects. Go figure...
And which small value changes are you talking about?

I'm having this stutter problem, too, with mxf files from the EX3. It sure would be nice if I could get at the bottom of what's causing it.

Me too, have both 32 and 64 bit on 2 different machines.
Just did a render of 200+ clips in the veggie toolkit this sunday without problems.
