Reply to Advice needed! apcs, f1s, and remix decks - oh my!

I have an APC40 I purchased from Guitar Center a few months ago. I received an s4 shortly thereafter as a gift so the APC40 has seen VERY little use.
I really REALLY want to get proper functionality out of the remix decks. My question is this: Would it be better for me to try and trade the APC40 in to get an F1? Would i ever be able to get decent functionality out of the remix decks on the APC40? Sure, its got a load of buttons and faders - but NI is far from giving us the ability to map it out proper.

Thoughts, input?
Thank you!
