I've just Max but not Reaktor, and my impression is similar. That's 
not to say that you can't build a nice GUI in Max - I've certainly 
seen some.  Reaktor will probably be a much quicker program to learn, 
and it's optimized more as a synthesizer and effects processor 
construction kit. Max/MSP provides the basic DSP objects you'll need 
but will require more work, but at the same time it offers a very 
deep and flexible capability for building control structures.
