Zaquencer - $200. The most sequencer you can get at that price point. But lots of knob turning, no real displays. Its fun though.
Toraiz Squid - $600. But it has some great features, and its very 'playable'. You can also drag and drop all of your midi from the device into the DAW.
I would suggest starting with purchasing a MIDI interface and a sequencer. Just use them to control software instruments in your DAW.
This is my workflow. Make a bunch of patterns in a sequencer. Record audio or MIDI into the DAW. Arrange the patterns. You get you brainstorming done on the hardware but the editing on the software.
They are suitable for hobbyists to professional level.
I personally am a hobbyist musician and programmer by profession. I'd imagine many others here are like me as well.
It is supported as far as the Bitwig scripting API can support it. The experience is not the same as using Push natively with Ableton.
