I've been a fan of the Behringer X-Touch controllers for quite some time. I use them for XAir control, DAW control, etc...
I'm aware that Propellerhead has not completely made Reason 10 Mackie Control Universal friendly. Very odd behaviors when you connect them and start moving controllers.
I'm aware that there are a set of replacement Remote scripts by www.jaexx.com that 'improve' the compatibility.

With the release of the X-Touch One, X-Touch now has multiple MCU Emulations. Standard MCU, Ableton Live, Logic, Studio One, Reaper, Cubase, Protools, HUI modes, etc... There are even MIDI CC and MIDI Note profiles. But most exciting is the MCU User profile. You can remap the functions of nearly all of the controls.

Examples:
I have remapped the CLICK button to SOLO, now it properly toggles CLICK
I have remapped the CYCLE button to CLICK, now it properly toggles CYCLE

It would be nice to find some documentation for the Reason Remote Maps and Lua Codecs. I see I'm going to have to dive into making a working set of scripts for the X-Touch One.

Do you get the SSL VU, or channel name on the X-Touch?
Looks like a great controler.

I got myself an X Touch compact this week, so far it's pretty amazing.

I ask behringer customer support if the X TOuch one is compatible with reason and the answer was "no, is not compatible"...

How well is working for you guys ?

I think I might go ahead and pick up an X-Touch One to ultimately replace my BCF2000 (which remains packed away). I had been looking at the Compact for some time, but I think I can forego all the extra control for the even smaller footprint.

Perhaps at some point I could add the Compact or the Extender to the One (essentially having most of what you get in the full X-Touch, but modular). Will have to look into that...

Haven't found much hands on stuff working with Reason, this is the only video I have come across, and while the video is not the best quality, he does touch on what works and his enthusiasm is fun and he seems to really like it :)
