I would suggest installing Kubuntu instead, and then just install whatever free software you want. Ubuntu Studio doesn't come with anything you can't get in Ubuntu/Kubuntu anyway.

I went with Kubuntu because Unity, being based on Compiz, cannot support more than one graphics card. I think KDE is better than Unity anyway. The KDE project has been under active development since 1996 and it's got a much cleaner interface. I can design stuff on the center monitor and have auxiliary information on the side monitors. This is EXTREMELY nice when you are designing something and need to look at photos or read information, because there is almost zero context switch. You can look at supporting information without making the main app "go away." If you're already running your brain at full tilt, every bit helps, and this is a game changer.
