Quick question about Color Correction

What are the different feature between the color options on Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express?

Also, are there:

Gamma?

Curves? -- If so, is there individual curve adjustment such as only RED, or BLUE, or is it all just - RGB -

Anything you could tell me would make me the happiest man in my pants.
 
Main Differences:

Final Cut Pro has a 3-Way Color Corrector (High, Mid, Low) and a Single Wheels Color Corrector. Each color corrector also has a Limit Effect Section that allows for Secondary Color Correction (Sin City, Pleasentville, Changing Color, ETC.)

Final Cut Express has only the One Color Corrector, but it allows for Luminance Correction in the High, Mids, and Lows.

Final Cut Pro DOES NOT have Curves.

AVID Xpress Does, but of course that does not have Secondary Color Correction, something AVID only has in the Symphony which is over $80,000. It is not even included in the Media Composer.

I was a Final Cut Express user first, then switched recently to Final Cut Pro, and have lately been trying the Academic Version of Avid Xpress Pro and I have to say, the curves are very cool because you can isolate a specific luminence range and only affect that small portion.
