Reply to Maschine advice (and Mikro discussion)

I have been eyeing Maschine for a little while now and have done as much research as i could, as i always do before buying more gear. I am however having trouble grasping the flow of production using it. I realize everything is very personal when dealing with music production, but Maschine really seems tailored to producing hip-hoppy beats (i know there is a deep house production video, but i consider it to be an outlier in this case)
So I ask: how efficient/useful is maschine for other genres of music? I specifically am believeing techno, electro, and very minimal electronic. What could it do for these styles that couldn't be achieved easily with other controllers? I use ableton, so would it make sense to use maschine at all? can Maschine do things that are impossible/very difficult/complex to do in Ableton?

I'm really looking into purchasing the Maschine Mikro when it comes out on the 1rst. I'm surprised it isn;t being raved about here on the community s yet...
