I use the APC40 for about 1 year.
By then against my use is not really for live performance, but rather for mixing sauce sound engineer not DJ, so my opinion concerning this use.
In this part of the mix, it's not bad, but not giant. But I think it was designed for that. I wished a machine that would help me get my mouse to the mix, just fiddling with buttons and fader. And the big gap for this application mix is ​​the motorized faders. And also dedicated for setting the EQ / Compressor controls. After that, it is true that you want the control of a strip console while the concept of frozen strip does not exist in Live, I quibble a bit :)
In all cases it is doable rather well using the 8 buttons dedicated to racks and just make a rack channel strip house with her favorite macros to be controlled with the APC40.
In the end, it's still pretty convenient, it requires some customization, but not good if you want to spend more than $ 1,000 in a control surface, there 's really no other choice ...
I also used to get ideas of arrangement, and there on the other hand, I find it more appropriate :)
I think remake that choice to finance equal, but if I had a much bigger budget I probably will direct to a surface mix with motorized fader.
