How can you insert the output of an Ex command into the

1) use :redir to a register and paste the register

Strange that there isn't a simpler method built-in.
I totally agree with you. Would be much more simpler if we could wrote
something like:
:<echo 25*47
And the output was directly put in the current buffer in the cursor position.
The sequence "redir 'something'", type a command and then 'redir END' is
really to much to do when we need to be fast. To get the result of the
calculation above is much more easy just "see" the value in the command window
and write it by your hand in the buffer.
This is a feature that a miss in Vim/GVim for quite sometime.

For this particular use case (insert the value of an expression) you can
do it by means of the expression register:
in Insert mode
^R=25 * 47
(where ^R is a Ctrl-R keystroke), followed by Enter, or in Normal mode
"=25 * 47↓p
where ↓ represents a press on the Enter key.
See :help quote=

Tony.
