Reply to Maschine or ableton for someone new to producing?

Hey guys, I'm totally new to producing. I currently been trying to learn ableton for the past few weeks, but I can't get my head around the mouse clicking to produce beats.

Do you guys believe its beneficial to learn on maschine or ableton in the long run? Having messed with ableton I'm believeing of using it more as an arranger.

I'm on the fence about maschine, but i hear such great things about it and I've always wanted an MPC/drum machine back in the day. However, maschine is expensive and my other alternative was to get a midi controller for ableton's drum rack. What do you guys believe?
