plenty of situations.
--ableton is a great creative environment. load a million things into a rack, assign macro's, and tweak away. doing that in logic would require you to build a big PiTA in the environment, maybe even keep track of arcane midi info... ableton's just better at that.
--I'm extremely fast w/ key commands, etc in logic. I get stems for a remix project in and want to change the tempo. I could flex-time each stem, take a few hours to get everything to line up and sound right-- and still wind up w/ a startingpoint where my audio sounds worse than it would in ableton. warp and export in ableton, work in logic.
--a buddy of mine is a PT whiz but loves the airwindows plugs and a bunch of channel strips he's created w/ logic's internal instruments. create sounds in logic, export and mix in PT.
--working on a theater piece in which i need to be really malleable with tempos, routings, pitches, etc but based on patches and sounds i built ages ago in logic. export from logic, perform in ableton. go back and do tweaks and different versions of sounds in logic, keep ableton updated as a big sample bank of previously-created sounds and different variations and routings of them.
could i do most of the ableton/logic stuff in mainstage? Probably... but do i have time to learn a new DAW? not at all.
