I use BIAB 2008 and it really helps for doing basic arrangements and trying different things with progressions while you write. You can try your lyric in different styles to see if something works or not, or even just to simply give you a fresh feel to work with.

Most all of my home demo/worktapes are done with BIAB (listen to some of them at https://soundcloud.com/stream#play but I also add live instruments as well. Here is one that I did completely with BIAB with the exception of the lead guitar https://soundcloud.com/fredchoatemusic/80-proof-reality-home-demo . I create the progression within the software, save as a midi and then import to SONAR and use the midi track with the better sounding instruments within SONAR.
