?Generic control surface vs ACT MIDI contoller plug ins?

HI all,
 
I just picked up a novation Launchkey 25, mostly to attract the 12 yr old into the mobile studio world...lots of flashy pads! (har har) anyhoo...
 
I have been having a bit of trouble getting the strip parameters and ACT settings to stay active. I have been using different ACT presets as a starting point. I just realized that there is a Generic Controller Plug-in in addition to the ACT MIDI Plugin...
 
I am not at home right now, but I am curious as to the differences and peoples general experience with controllers and both their short comings and any tips n general.

    Depends on what you want to do really. There's no reason you can't use both on the same surface. I run the MIDI section knobs, faders, and buttons of my ZED-R16 with ACT and use the Generic Surface to run the transport controls and channel faders.
     
    Works great for me like that.
