I know this thread is now somewhat old. I have an Atari ST 1040 with Sequencer One Plus (now free) and that is the tightest to date.
It has two issue that get me, one is it sends a bunch of sysex commands when the "stop" key is pressed, which at the time of programming were harmless but it causes my new synth to go potty, its controller commands now which can't be switched off (I've even spoken with the orginal programmer). And it's possilble to have hanging notes if sections (bars) are deleted. Otherwise a stunning little sequencer.
I also use the sequencer built into my Ensoniq keyboards, tight but a different musical experince to the ST. My XP/Cakewalk just doesn't seems as "tight" to my ears, but I'm not going to pretend to be some great musician.
I'm planning to get one of my old Macs sequencing to see if they are as tight as the ST.
