I've used Reason + Ableton for years. Sometimes I use Digital Performer, but that's pretty parallel for your purposes. I've always done everything in MIDI. I make sections on each track and loop them out as long as they need to be. Often I'll just use one track per loop. The loop just runs infinitely and I use automation to create the composition.Other times I'll use one track per timbre, when I'm making more dynamic or evolving tracks (read: actually play them).

Sonar should have a MIDI transposing tool built in. DP and Live do.
