I am not an expert in the Reaper feature set, but I would say that the two programs have their strengths in different areas. So it is difficult to recommend one of the two without knowing more about your working method.
I apologize for not being clearer in my post. I am not asking for a personal recommendation of one over the other based on my unique needs. I am wanting to know some obvious ways that the two programs differ. At this point, they both seem to offer a very similar feature set. Maybe an example would be to contrast them as such:
Reaper = customizable interface, unlimited tracks, Rewire host and slave.
Podium = loads and saves FLAC, has tab to transient, 64-bit processing.
So that would be an example of what I am asking for (assuming they really differ in those areas – I have no idea if they do!)

Although you say you don’t have much time to experiment, I would highly recommend that you install the demo/trials of both applications, and see how you progress.
I definitely will do this, but with my limited time I am undoubtedly going to miss many things, probably even obvious ones that only seasoned users would be able to point out as being something worth stating.
I am going to rewrite my initial post to reflect these points clearer. Thanks for the responses so far!
