What more would I get if I purchased Cubasis compared to Garageband? I'm an oldtime pc-sequencer user since dos-times and sometimes the Garagebands logic is weird. What about the instruments that comes with Cubasis? Particularily "normal" stuff like pianos, basses and drums?

I could never get the hang of Garagband either due to it's own logic but I love Cubasis.
Essentially Cubasis is a true mini-DAW and feels quite familiar. Along with Nanostudio I think it's the best for iOS (never tried Auria or Beatmaker though).

With Cubasis you get insert/send/master FX, flexible MIDI-editting and inter-app audio -all of which Garageband hasn't.

The instruments that come with Cubasis are a bit average but becuase of the inter-app audio it's very easy to use other iOS-instruments. Since the last update Cubasis has the Micrologue synth. I'm not really into synthesis but I like Sunrizer and Cassini better.

There's something of an advantage if you're actually a Cubase user. Projects that you make in Cubasis can be imported directly into Cubase to take ideas further, and that makes it a worthwhile purchase imho.

That's what I like about it too.
If you use Cubase then Cubasis makes the most sense.
It has a few idiosyncrasies but all in all I like it

i doubt this - version 1.7.1 does NOT work well for many users - Steinberg reps keep rather quiet at their own forum too. some very strange workflow issues ( playback stops upon every undo action / you have to restart playback in order to take velocity changes into account etc ).
for close to €50 one can expect some more polish and devotion ( at least in my books )
ymmv

To Cubasis or not?
