Thanks Scottie - the gear is just for home DJing and the occasional house party, but I'm well in to it so do want decent gear that'll need no upgrading for many, many years.... I was looking at Traktors, but I really like the Serato software, so I'm leaning towards Pioneer.
The DDJ SX2 is on sale at Store DJ for $1299 so I might invest my cash there! I'm pretty sure the SX2 can be connected up the same way.
Cheers for the input...
