(sorry for my english)
While it's designed primarily for vocals, you can get workable results from other monophonic instruments (typical "your milage may vary" situation). Haven't tried any of the ones you mention though…

And that is no less true for Melodyne too. There are videos on Melodyne's monophonic, and polyphonic, audio to MIDI conversion which show great results, and yet when I've tried it on my material, the output is a mess with most of the right notes together with a bunch of wrong notes created presumably by misreading harmonics and effects in the original material.
So if we find that Reason 9 doesn't do an amazing job dealing with anything we throw at it, I think we need to give them a break and set our expectations fairly.
I've worked a bit with Melodyne, and it will be very interesting to compare these things in Pitch Edit mode with Melodyne:
* How tolerant is it to noisy recordings? (I use to clean up recordings in a wave editor before taking it to Melodyne)
* How will the Vibrato feature work. I'm quite dependent on being able to decrease vibrato increase as well as adjust pitch glide.
* How much can the pitch be corrected before distortion can be heard.
* Does it do consonant detection. If not, does consonants in a sound blob cause more distortion when changing pitch?
(I guess a remedy to that is to razor the consonants)
* How is the workflow in Pitch Edit mode - I'm hoping there are shortcuts for Correct Pitch etc.
