Very much so. In fact, I would stipulate that getting sync up and 
running between a host and, say, an audio buffer in maxMSP is easier 
than in Reaktor - which is relatively easy.

I am in this for synced looping. Only (and this is a given!) I want to 
be able to mess with the clock... this gives you access to rev. but also 
to breaking effects and stutters. And retriggering.. And resequencing. 
and this leads to being able to sequence a looping buffer with another 
inputs transients, and such.

Which do you mean - the Pluggo system or the "load a vst in MaxMSP"system?

The system appears extremely lean to me. That's really appealing, imo.
