I'll have to check out that FL studio 4. As for fruity's problem with time sig's. I usually write out a whole drum pattern and then import into Fruity. Fruity's the only program I know of that can import midi files, and then be capable of subbing the midi for actually wav. drum sounds. Plus the multieffects for each track is a big help. If I initially wrote the drum beat on fruity, I don't think I would like that program at all.
