    Neither to be frank, but hey, this is DIGITAL DJ Tips forum after all :-).

    CDJs/DJM are, in my very humble opinion, quickly becoming a thing of the past. The CDJs might get a second lease on life depending on the new RekordBox, but even then, unless you have a midi-compatible mixer, you’ll be missing out on lots.

    If money is no issue I would seriously consider the XDJ-RX (or wait what the next NEW RekordBox compatibel controller from Pioneer will be) or the DDJ-SZ (only because from shape/size it resembles a 2000/900 setup). Personally I think anybody with a DDJ-SX2 can do lots more than someone on a club setup could.

    Again, it’s all up to you of course and it is your money, but I would never spend 5.500 or thereabouts anymore on club gear where 1.500 to 2.000 can get me something with way more functionality. Leaving a nice chunk of cash to buy a decent MacBook Pro for example.

    Vintage: Agree the traditional CDJ is on the way out, but the XDJ 1000 may give the CDJ “footprint” an extra lease on life as it is basically just a really big third of a controller. If it had pads on it instead of relying on the touchscreen I’d like it a lot more and could even see it quickly become the new industry standard, as I suspect clubs (assuming they keep providing any equipment at all – they no longer do in my neck of the woods) will continue to gravitate towards modular type configurations over the all-in-ones for the foreseeable future.

    Vain Moo: What is your thinking behind wanting either of these over an all-in-one? Sometimes a good hard think about the “why” we want something helps figure out “what” fits our needs.

    I think we can expect to see A LOT of new Pioneer gear rolling out the next few months… already started at the low end and they finish of with an SZ2 or whatever it will be called…

    I am guessing we will see an XDJ-RZ
