I do not spin that often but I love them. The (bigger) spinning platter is the reason I chose them over the CDJ-1000 back then. I have no regreted them since. When using them with CD the sound issue can be heard depending on which sound you use to scratch. That is the only biggest issue on the player.
Smaller things like being able to trim loops, using the SD are all up to personal preference.
I can be harsh on products if they are not working adequtely in my eyes but this does the job for me. People can say what they like, they tried to reproduce the faults rather then try it out themselves.
As ar as I know the RP-HD are still being sold but not with a big stock in The Netherlands.
