    Hello William :);
    I am sure (or at least it is Possible) that these DJ Consoles have been Reviewed on Digital DJ Tips; so somebody will give you a More Technical answer than mine;
    But; if you buy the Numark you will need to buy an Extra Soundcard with 4 Ports; (Numark Recommend 2 Soundcards to choose from; one costing $159; and the other $179);
    And; if you buy the Hercules; it has 4 Stereo Ports already Built In; (and of course it uses VDJ which you are used to);
    However; I don’t know which is the Best Console I am Sorry;

    If your patient you can usually pick up a used VCI-100 at around that price range. You will still need a soundcard though unless you can find a package deal.

    Hello William :);
    I always like to buy things where I Don’t have to go shopping for something else and spend More Money; so the Hercules Definitely fits that as it is an ‘All In One’; and also uses Software that you are already Familiar with :);
    But; I haven’t used any of the DJ Consoles you mention so I can’t give an Opionion as to which is ‘Best’;
    I Personally use ‘Ableton 8’ for my DJ’ing; and although it Definitely is the ‘Best’ in my Opinion; it costs Lots Of Money; and takes Months and Months of Studying trying to Learn it;
    However; I have used VDJ; and Deckadance; and Traktor DJ Studio 3; and Torq; and I now Own Traktor Pro 2;
    Traktor Pro 2 just has more Effects and ‘Shiny Knobs’ than Traktor DJ Studio 3 – which costs Much Less now – and Traktor is used by some World Class DJ’s;
    But; VDJ is also Excellent for DJ’ing; and there are people on this Forum who still Prefer it over all the New Software; so; although I don’t think you asked me this question 🙂 … I would try to be ‘Your Best’ with what you have; and then get something ‘Better’ at a later date; but to buy a Shiny New Console (if you can afford it) to ‘House’ the Software You Know; is not a Problem at all; as we all Love New Things; and if it makes you Feel More Determined about your DJ’ing; then it is a Win Win Situation 😀

    I suggest you spring for the Numark Mixtrack Pro.
    Based on everything I’ve read for the past few months it’s the #1 most popular choice for new DJ’s and works great for even intermmidate DJ’s!
