Another great source for these questions is the Ableton forum:
http://www.ableton.com/index/forum You won't have to join a mailing list or anything either. Just search for keywords like evolution uc33e/protools/midi/etc and you will come up with tons of information/opinions/debates/etc as these questions have been asked/answered 1000's of times. As an ableton user I can attest to it's beautifully simple and intuitive interface. Give the demo a shot. Not only great to get started, but it has come a long way as well, and can be used for complete production of tracks. This, of course, would be up to you. Good luck.

OK, no problems with this really Frank, but this looks like a prime topic for the loosely-affiliated 313techknow list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/313techknow/ Just helps to keep the non-tech-orientated geeks happy by filtering some content towards there, and keeping this more a musical-appreciation list rather than a production list. Plus you might find some deeper answer there (sometimes!) As I say though, this isn't a strict demarcation, so do what you like.
