Best Controller

Bumping this thread for 9.5: what’s everyone using for a tightly-integrated MIDI controller nowadays?

I waffled on a dedicated hardware sequencer because I figured for the price of Pyramid/Live/Deluge/Cirklon/etc., I’ll need a DAW anyways, and Cubase on a beefy box should run circles around anything out there… except the workflow: jamming on a DAW with a keyboard/mouse is a real flow killer.

I’d love to have a dedicated controller (no keyboard; have my REV2) that I can use for transport and track-toggling and pads. A Push Lite for Cubase would be stellar.
