Well, I do have Studio one, Notion and an Atom Controller. I am amazed by the products (the software is among the very best that is available for any type of work) and love the integration with the Hardware they have. I was planing to get a faderport and audio interface (if Santa is kind *) because of this integration. When hearing of the fender Deal, I started rethinking. To often such aquisition go wrong. But I will stick with my plan. The hardware could still be used with the software at its current state. Future moves will not alter what I have. They either will be bad, in which case no further investment is made; or be good, in which case I will spend more money.
I own a copy of Reason (been a user for years) and I am unhappy with the way the company evolves since they have been aquiered by a PE company. But as much as I doubt I will spend more money with them, I still have my software unchanged by recent events. And the Controller surface I bought (nektar Panorama) is still working with Reason and can be used with many other DAWS. In fact, it does work even better with Studio One. So the hardware invest was not affected by Reason Studios current direction.

* maybe becoming a beta tester is another option?
