Glad you listened to the voice of reason Paul!
Seriously, to acknowledge your decision, Numark makes good DJ gear in the higher consumer/lower prosumer market (they have some semi-pro stuff at the high end, but that’s a different budget). Usually full-featured, well-built and with broad support from the leading DJ Software companies. The MTP2 especially has been on our ‘favorite starter controller list’ for a long time and with a reason, imho.
Hercules on the other hand makes low end consumer gear. It’s main attraction is it’s price. Like in the old days when I got my first recordplayer for xmas. It could play a record and produce sound, but it was no Technics SL-1200 or even an Akai or Sony or something. And while the RMX2 is at the high end of the Hercules range, it still breaths it’s heritage.
I am 100% positive that the MTP2 will give you a lot of fun and help you on your path to serious DJ-ing and will take longer for you to get to the point of wanting an upgrade than you would have with the Hercules.
Good luck and keep us posted.
