Presales question about Avid MCP

[zeke]

I've been checking out the info about the latest MCP 3.x and it seems to get excellent reviews. I'm interested in purchasing, but have one question...
Can you do surround audio mixing within MCP?

Thanks in advance (I'd rather ask here than a sales rep for the moment).

You cannot mix surround in the application but can play back 5.1 from 6 tracks for monitoring over HDMI with the hardware.

Thanks. That means if I switch I should still keep my copy of Vegas and Acid Pro around for audio mixing. Nice thing is, with DnxHD available as a qt plug in, I can manage.
