At the time Reaper was not ARA compatible, and I was also drawn away from DAW work for some time so I hardy used it in the last few years.
I just installed it on the laptop I currently use, which only had version 2 installed. My first taste of ARA is very positive, but I haven't really put it to use real in a real project.
If you think you want it, you probably do. Maybe try the trial.
Based on what I've seen of the new features in Melodyne 5 I will probably be upgrading to it sooner than later. Especially if I can find a nice coupon code. Anyone know of one?

Well, I did upgrade to Editor 5 and very glad I did :-)
I've already fulfilled all my upgrade hit points...
- polyphonic audio pitch editing on an acoustic guitar track where the B-string was slightly flat, which saved getting the player back and re-tracking.
- loaded up live (varying tempo) recordings into Melodyne and imported the tempo map back into reaper via ARA.
- extracted the bass audio from a live recording (using SPLITTER.AI), loaded that into Melodyne and then exported a MIDI track to trigger a bass gtr VST
It's like black magic :-)
