I stopped buying Rack Extensions 2 years ago as well, because Native Instruments gave Reaktor away for less than the price of a Reason upgrade. The stuff is always there if I want to use it but the last time I actually composed any music with it was really about a year ago I feel.
Whilst being a long time experienced Reason user/composer myself since 2001, and also spent a considerable amount (probably around £240) on RE's to fill the gaps and update Reason's aging devices within Reason 6.5 / 7.0, I do feel that both myself and money is trapped in a hole with the program. If you are using Loopback with Reason whilst using external sources, you must always be cautious of feedback loops which can blow out both your ears and possibly damage your speakers/monitors or both depending on your sound levels, so it's pretty critical in that you know the peak level input you need to set to prevent this, both on the Mix Control software (if using a Focusrite interface) and Reason's audio track. Whilst there are various ways to get VST /instrument sounds/ other sound sources into Reason, and using loopback capable hardware, it's not without issue's which other VST dedicated Daws are better suited in handling due to settings and automation parameters being saved much more easily on a per project basis and also having to jump through more hoops within Reason. Sorta like comparing apples and oranges as Reason is a dedicated DAW environment so logically you should be first comparing what DAW's are available and suited to your liking and adapting anything you want to add in the future to it.
