I have no experience with the Novation so I can't comment, but if your main concern is playing your MIDI parts rather than entering them by hand I think either one would be fine.

I also have a Nektar Panorama P6. Love it. But it's not perfect. It has a proprietary protocol that requires the Nektar driver. The issues with the Panoramas lie in the depths of the control surface.
I struggled to get it (the control surface) working smoothly in SONAR. Works very well in Studio One, with the exception that I haven't yet figured out if SO supports soft pickup for the faders.
One thing I'll say about Nektar development...they appear to work on the software until they can get their demos with various DAWs going...and then never touch it again.
All of that said, the second generation Nektar Impact keyboards are a pretty good deal for the money.
