Is MT what I need? Is it overkill for my needs? Time code?

I just started fooling with the free Pro edition and I want to ask the pros some questions before I start shelling out time and treasure.

I am interested in a straightforward midi controller to manage 6 or more devices. I mainly want to be able to send multiple control/bank changes on different midi channels with the press of a single button.

MT is clearly capable of this, but is it overkill? Is there a free (or simpler) program that might do the same thing? Do you know of a hardware controller that could manage this?

Also, does MT provide its own timecode? Barring that, is there a way to display the current bpm on the screen?

To clarify:

I'm actually interested in Midi Clock, not Timecode.

It would be nice to tweak bpm from my laptop and distribute it, rather than pulling it from a drum machine, running it through MT, and then sending control changes -back- through the drum machine.
