I Would actually expect that for example Ableton, working more with samples, parts of tracks, etc, will give you much bigger results with much less effort or learning curve. Its a blank sheet music production environment. You actually see pro's switching from Cubase to Reason. Reason might be the upcoming 'underdog' and not so much a big boys toy, but compared to functionality, complexity and performance it is very equal to for example the direct competitor, Cubase. Neither of them is 'easy' to understand if you have no (electronic) musical background what so ever or never experimented with a sequencer. Often branded as the internets favourite DAW, FL Studio (formerly known. Cubase and Reason are studio production environments while Ableton and Logic are more interactive tools suitable for live performances. Or the flex tool and Live Loops in Logic Pro X has drastically improved my. Mmmm, can't really agree on the above, all four packages have a different approach in making music. Live, Cubase and Logic are the "big boys toys" and although they are usable by beginners, you'll probably find it easier to start with Reason.
