Hello fellow computer persons!

I am C-64 owner looking to buy another computer.  I have been looking
at both the Atari ST and Amiga.  For the life of me I cannot figure
out which one to get.  I will be using the computer for MIDI stuff;
sequencing, patch editing and music software development.  I know the
ST has the MIDI port built in and has more support, but is it really
a better machine?  I am attracted to the Amiga because of it's
multi-tasking operating system, but at the same time the ST is a
lower cost machine (I think).  Any suggestions for a MIDI nut ?
