Reason's crappy compressor does expand too, but I wouldn't mess with it.
I have to stick up for Reason's compressors. The normal half rack compressor is awesome when you set everything to the max (low threshold, high ratio, fast attack, fast release).
One time I exported a live drum track from Pro Tools, squashed it in Reason, and set it behind the uncompressed drum mix in the track.
I still get complements on the drum sound after two years.
Scream 4 is also super for compression on the tape setting.
