    Thanks Terry. Just when I had somehow reduced my choice to the one forthcoming controller now I am back onto rethinking the formula! But fear not, in fact I do appreciate your comments. I already own a few Denon HiFi products and I do love the brand, so going for the MC4000 would probably be a wiser move all around plus I could get it at a much better price, fitting quicker with my limited budget. However I would have to upgrade to the full Serato DJ version to be able to record my mixes. I believe I should be able to get half price upgrade with the included voucher offered with the controller. I have seen the presentation demo by Phil Morse which was really good and the reason I had then dismissed the MC4000 is because he pointed out that the AUX jack input at the rear would not be suitable for use with a turntable. However Serato customer service tells me that I should be able to. Can you advise on this? as I would need a controller with the capability to link my Stanton STR8-150 for use as described in my original post.

    Ian and Maku, thanks for the additional feedback. Looks like it’s either going to be the Denon MC4000 or even more likely the Primo. For info I contacted Mixars through their FaceBook page, though they responded pretty fast and confirmed that they do not have a distributor in Portugal. However I could purchase from Spain at ZentralMedia or Amazon. When I checked the sites there was no Primo on either sites nor anywhere. When I got back to them they failed to answer my questions about the availability date of the controller and the Euro RRP even though they remain at my disposal ! Seems as if the controller is likely to retail near the 600 euros, I understand with the full Serato DJ version, in which case I should not have to purchase a discounted license. Staying tuned of course.

    Aaron and Todd, thanks both for the swift feedback. You have suddenly given me a regain of hope to find something that presents itself as a promising alternative. I’ll just have to be patient and keep my eyes opened to see who’s retailing the brand in Portugal where I now live. This will also give me chance to consolidate my budget for it as it is likely to exceed the 400 euros with full Serato DJ! To be continued…..
