An MPC and an MPD work almost exactly the same as a midi controller. The more expensive ones have a bunch of faders and knobs which I personally don't use, nor do most people who own them that I know. The MPC is basically the same thing as a controller outside of needing to load up a midi program (if you want it to be chromatic) and having a power cord. It is the same thing, you can use them the same way, and you will not know which you are using.
Then the MPC has the ability to sample and sequence.
I just don't get how people can say that an MPC is bad choice. It may not be as cost effective but can easily be used a midi controller, stand alone, and easily be used with reason as a slave through midi. You have 3 different ways to use an MPC (plus the 1k has USB/card reader which allows you to load up a bunch of stuff, chop on the computer if you like, etc). Basically, with an mpc combined with reason, you have 3 different ways to work where the mpd and reason/recycle give you one. I don't get how the mpc could be a worse idea.
