And even though I have (and love Logic), my second recommendation would be Reason.
Anyone who says that Reason is a toy, or that it sounds bad, is a complete and utter incompetent moron.
Reason is a toy though, when you compare it to other daws. It's a fun toy but if you want to get into some serious music production such as for scoring music with a couple of hundred tracks...forget it. It's VST capabilities are severely hampered with it's technical limitations but the biggest issue for most it's GUI scaling.

I used Reason for the best part of 13 years, with every version right up to R7.01 and have a bunch of RE's which I hoped would extend it's life. Unfortunately the core Daw itself, took a nose dive into the oblivion as did propellerheads. I was eager to jump ship from it and had no regrets when I did.

I have sonar x3 studio and I'm just into music recording for fun. Not too serious right now. Do you think I'll be fine with continuing to use x3 studio for 1-3 years without any issue with current and new vst's and plugins such as komplete 11?

TL;DR of this post: The Cubase programmers apparently don't make music with their own app because they didn't want to make the mixer a skeuomorphic clusterfuck. (???)
lol skeuomorphic is so 90s

They stopped development on Project 5 maybe 10 or 12 years ago, and it still works fine as long as you don't use memory hogging sampled instruments. X3 Should be good for quite some time.

What's concerning, though, is that Post X3 Sonar is dependent on authorization servers for installation. They said that they would give an unlock code when the servers go down, but lots of things can happen when a company is headed for bankruptcy.

Update for my previous post: The more I use Studio One the more I´m amazed by what it can do. Actually I think it´s better than Sonar for a lot of things, I think I should have jumped on board sooner, but I went for the lifetime membership with Sonar. I really like their (PreSonus) vision and planning, I´m not surpriced if we wait a few more years and then it´s the gold standard of DAWs.

Well looks like Craig Anderton seems to have gone over to Studio One heh...
btw: not a plug for him, personally I would only use the word "plug" for him as part of a compound word. :D

Butt Plug?

Argh. As to the actual topic, I'm developing mad respect for Mixcraft, especially the version with Melodyne.

So I see Cubase, Studio One and Digital Performer are offering special crossgrades. Did I miss anyone?
