    It is as simple as that:
    If you want Traktor buy the S4
    If you want Serato buy the SX
    Both are especially good for the software they were made for. Both are especially bad for any other software (except the SX is also good with Cross).
    I would pick the SX, but only because I love Serato.

    I agree with what terry says it about the software decison.
    I have not used a traktor s4 but own an sx so biased in that sense.
    Suffice to say i dont find I’m wanting anything more with the sx. Its works great, its solid and it feels about the right size and feels right if that makes any sense. I dont think you would be dissapointed with an sx, there’s a reason they sold a lot of them. That said there is a signifcant price difference between the 2 so that needs to be a consideration too.

    Thanks Terry and Rory,
    I do think that the SX is the go, the S4 just doesn’t look right for me, too small and compact and it looks a bit toy-like. The price range of the S4 was what I have, but I might look for a good second hand SX for roughly the same price.

    Thanks again 🙂

    Chad is there much difference between the SX and the SX2? Because I’m only 15, with no job at the moment lol, so not really able to get an extra 500$ anytime soon to buy the new SX2 :/

    Not much, RGB performance pads, Serato Flip support and DVS support. Nothing you can’t live without unless you need those exact specs, but the S4 doesn’t have all of those features either. I think your option of finding a good used SX is solid imho.

    If you were buying new, I’d say go for the jugular and buy the SX2, but in this case, the SX will do you just fine. Heck, it’s what I use currently and I feel no urgent need to upgrade. I don’t use Serato, so Flip is not an issue. I don’t do christmas so don’t need RGB lights in my pads and I don’t do vinyl anymore. Presto, my GOLD (Yikes!) SX will be with me till I get something else 😀
