Thanks Titan. I’m still heading towards the DDJ-SZ with VDJ or Serato.
To be honest, I looked at the Denon MCX8000 (after Terry’s comments above) and it has all the features I want i.e. same as the SZ but can work stand-alone with USB’s as well. It just seemed a bit more complicated/less intuitive and, again being totally honest, something in me just wants a Pioneer set-up as it’s more familiar to the CDJ set-up I see DJ’s using in clubs.
