I have never worked with Vegas.
[Larry Watts] "Final Cut appears to solve a ton of issues. What benefits do you see? "
If you've done your research and have determined that FCP will save you a ton of issues, then I think you've already answered your own question.
Everything we use today is simply a tool. You need to choose the correct tool for your job. It sounds like Vegas is not doing it for you and pretty much anything else from Premiere, FCP to Avid will work better in your situation.
I can tell you that FCP delivers broadcast and feature films every day. In our case, about 100 HD masters to Food Network, PBS and European networks over the past few years and 1000's of hours of programming over the past 8. We currently have four workstations all networked together on an Ethernet SAN and will have 9 connected in our new facility.
FCP works for us and is a very VERY efficient workflow for sharing projects among editors, in our experience. It's not perfect and there are pros and cons to all the NLEs out there. Where FCP wins most often is the cost for performance.
