I have the original one, to be honest I find it to be excellent, it's really really good, apart from one thing which REALLY REALLY lets it down.
IT CAN'T USE MIDI CC, which is an absolute nightmare if you want to use hardware with it.
I don't know if the the new one has fixed that problem, if not, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot stick.
edit: if you did want to spend that kind money, perhaps ableton push would be better for you. Ableton destroys maschine on the software side.

APC 40 is not for making beats. You can use it to trigger loops but not as a drum pad.
The first generation PUSH is only $70 more new on amazon than an apc40 and can be used to make beats as well do anything the APC can do.

Agreed on massive disappointment. I missed the boat on FIFA 15...
I'm close to trading in my consoles and game time for this and start learning to produce music again.
Firstly, you should watch some videos of people using different gear and giving it reviews to see if it fits what you want.
I'm not sure why you would want a mixer unless you had a lot of physical instruments and/or mics that you need record at the same time. If you really want some sliders there are things like MPDs or APCs. I can't play the piano, so I don't mind having a little keyboard. I like the keystation mini 32, because it has a lot of keys, but it is very small.
There are more simple pads like the Korg padKontrol.
If you really want an abelton specific controller consider getting the push. It's expensive though.
As I said, look up videos of everything.
