So I agree with you in most of the points.
Fore sure sound diver and i.e. AN1X Editor ...they all can handle Sysex.
But in Ableton Live there is one Bug: it Filter the Sysex data from external Keyboards. Everything you can change with CC is no problem. But it simply ignore changes via Sysex and you cant record knob movments.
Because they use it for internal stuff and to the speech with external Hardware Controller.
So you must have an "virtual Cable" to use it.
Ctrlr is one and an easy to use way to avoid the Problem.
Max for Live can handle sysex data for sure.
You have to use java and get an "cable" to MaxMSP. Then it works.
But there is no way to do this out of the box.
So Ctrlr can be very helpful if you unfamiliar with sysex data and a solution with the live bug.
I hope i have convince you that in this specific case its not rubbish.

ATOM working for years on this its only one guy and its totaly free !! Max for live fore sure is a good programm but you have to pay 200 Euro. And i buy it only to see that nobody can realy help u with Sysex !!! This works on Ctrlr out of the box......
