Reply to Maschine or Reason 6?

Hey guys!
its my birthday coming up this weekend and i have some extra b-day money to burn on some VERy needed things!
I am posting this to get some ppls opinions on what i should buy...for starters, i come from a DJ background, and would like to get into production. ive messed around to a certain extent with Reason 5's DAW, and love it. My question is, would i be going a round about way to creating/producing music if i purchase a Maschine first instead of a DAW? the reason why i say this is, i know that you can use reasons kong as a MPC drum pad, and redrum as a drum sequencer, which is basically what maschine or a mcp does. why would somebody purchase a maschine instead of a DAW with an akai mini pad and keyboard? can somebody please explain to me why maschine seems more intuitive for me when im watching youtube videos over reason DAW videos? i guess im more of a remixer than an original producer...does this have something to do with it? thanks for all the help and opinions guys! dun know what i would do without this community !!

cheers!
