I currently own a Numark NV. I love it, it’s lightweight surprisingly thin & comes packed with MOST of the features that the NS7 II and NS7 III have. Some of the features it doesn’t have are the moving platters, touch strip search, & it lacks turntable ground connections as well as additional deck connections. If your looking for an all round all-in-one controller that is very up-to-date & extremely portable. Get the NV. Price: $799.99
If you have the cash to drop on the NS7 III definitely go for that when it comes out sometime this summer. It has all the bells and whistles you could ask for. But you will take a hit in ease of portability. Price: $1,499.99 USD
The NS7 II is also a great controller that I used to own. It has everything the NS7 III & NV has (minus the screens, though they will be sold separately as an add-on for the NS7 II sometime after the NS7 III is out). So if your looking for something that has a few more luxuries than the NV (again same as the NS7 III’s luxuries) with the option to purchase the screens at a later date (may run around $250.00 USD – $350.00 USD) & once again, lugging a heavy beast of a machine around isn’t an issue then go with the NS7 II. Price: $1,299.99 USD
I owned the original Pioneer DDJ-SX (Not the SX2 so it’s missing a few features). It was a solid controller. Almost CDJ style platters and the familiar CDJ layout makes this attractive to DJ’s wanting to feel more at home when moving from CDJ to controller. From what I see of the SX2 it seems like a great controller with that “Pioneer quality” that has gotten the brand famous. If screens aren’t a necessity,would prefer platters with feed-back instead of moving vinyl platters, would like the option to connect additional decks to your controller, enjoy the pioneer layout, and don’t mind paying about $200 more dollars than the NV, then the SX2 is the one for you. Price: $999.99 USD
