Evolution Uc-33e & Reason 2.5, Control Surfaces Options

[angryman]

look at this and this

Does any one have any experience using the Evolution UC-33e with any of the following?

Reason 2.5
GarageBand 2
Live

I am mainly interested in knowing if the UC-33e is a good control surface to use with Reason 2.5 (particularly for controlling the Mixer).

If so, how good is it? Any problems? And do you have to have a degree in midi programming to get the most out of it?

If you have used this with any of the above I would be very interested to know what you thought as the blurb on the evolution website paints a nice picture here but to get the true low down I thought it would be best to ask you guys!

Any oppinions you have are most welcome!
