Elektron Musical Instruments

People keep talking about how good the Machinedrum's sequencer is, 
and how the onboard effects give a distinctive sheen to its sounds.

How does Fruityloops, the program, compare to the Machinedrum in 
terms of usability, expressiveness and functions etc...?

I ask because I use Fruityloops a lot and I'm wondering if there 
would be any point in buying a Machinedrum.
