MIDI has it's place.  I find it works well for sketching things out, 
but there are details to be worked out as you say.  For making really 
good quality audio stuff, ya gotta share the audio files though.  At
least that's my experience over more than a decade.  MIDI still had 
trouble in a band I was in where we were all using Logic.

Cheers....
