Try the demo first, but give it a week before you walk away. Not everybody will, and I don't know that I'll be using it to track a drum kit or mix 80 tracks. Having spent a little time with it, I do like it.
I will add, finally, that the FL Studio workflow is a pretty different from other DAW's, particularly when it comes to arrangement and routing. I was looking at the Ableton Suite ($800) originally, so I think I did okay. With the stuff I added, I am SUPER satisfied.
All told, I probably ended up spending $650 to feel like I had a complete tool set. I had a hard time being satisfied with what was in the box after tooling around with those and ultimately upgraded to Signature Edition (which includes a full-featured sampler among other things), then added Harmless, Harmor, Groove Machine and a handful of sample packs. But they give you the demos of the dozen or so serious synths they sell through their site. You do get a fine drum machine, a great beat slicer, and a handful of basic subtractive synths and miscellaneous others. Most of what comes bundled in the Producer Edition (synthesizer/sampler-wise) is functional but boring.
Be warned: You will probably want to buy a lot of their soft synths. There's a ton of smart functionality built in. In general, I'm really happy in the FL environment. Now on PCs, I took a flyer on FL Studio (over Ableton) after playing with the demo for a week or so.

When I was exclusively a Mac user, I used Logic Pro (through Version 8) to write and produce what a friend called "beep-boop robot rock".
