Reason 4.....is Reason just a TOY?

I'm using Reason 4 & Cubase SX3 at the moment. I'm pretty maxing Reason for its capabilities. Im on windows but im told mac & logic etc are good for this stuff. should my bank balance lose a ball and go apple?
What do all the big boys use. For example the minus/richie hawtin/gaiser. What are they using because I'm finding it hard to emulate sounds as smooth and professional as thier stuff. Ive actually been told my production is good but to me its only half way there. My biggest problem is kick drums and perc. Do I need thousands of refils? I've tried all sorts to try get em sounding half decent...So any advice on how to make them sound like they should sound would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ewan.

have a listen anyway.

The mnus crew are using Ableton Live 7.01 on a Mac. I also use it and people often compare me to Gaiser (although I dont share their opinion, I dont see the comparison).. Thank god I'm not wannabe.

I think Ableton 1 is better for production because you have to be more creative!

I've been told that Logic has scarily deep midi editing, but I guess Cubase is just as good, only different. Richie is using a fully blown Pro Tools rig - a bit out of your price range, perhaps

You've maxed Reason, perhaps it's time to max your skills?

or get better samples
