I used to use FL studio years ago. When i started working with audio Cubase was far better suited so it made moving easy. If you work with a lot of hardware (or do any kind of audio recording into the sequencer) then Cubase is much easier to use/more logical, or it was anyway. If you use only VSTi's then it might be hard to move away from the convience of FL.

Some really great producers like Rhythmics, Spirit Wolf, Starstruck, Sparkz etc. have gotten some amazing results in fl studio.
I use Cubase. version 7.5, to be exact. along with reason 4.
Now there are two Reasons I don't recomend switching to Cubase (...just yet!).
1. Steinberg (makers of Cubase) just released version 9 of Cubase this week. Usually the first versions of an update make the first adopters get to work out the bugs. From what I've read, there is a list of plug ins that won't work either. I think it's because cubase is now only 64-bit. I will most probably make the upgrade myself at some point, but from what I've learned with the use of their products is to wait for a .5 release.
2.The learning curve. I've been using cubase since the 90's. And while I love how it's progressed during the years (I stick with it because I've kinda followed the progression of updates and am really familiar with the workflow) It might not be as intuitive as fl studio.
like I mentioned at the beginning of this post, some really outstanding music (specifically hardcore) has been made on fl studio, which to me says it's more about "how you use" and not "what you use", that really makes the difference.

FL is certainly very intuitive although i think Cubase is very logical so they are both good. I feel like FL can be better for getting ideas down quickly though. Either way whichever helps you make the best music will be by far the best tool for you, because that's what people will hear.

It's less about sound quality these days (all the sound engines the DAWs use are essentially the same) and more about what feels logical and intuitive to you. For us, that's FL studio. For others it's Cubase. But Cubase doesn't have NEARLY as big of a following as it used to.
Industry standard for recording is ProTools. Cubase also lost a lot of users to Ableton and Logic.
You're at a good time for DAWs. Pick one you like and go with it. Moving to Cubase certainly won't make you sound better if you do the exact same things you did in FL.
