this ^ if you're wanting to take dj'n seriously then you would fork out a lot more than the $1800 US No you wouldn't. This unit has everything you need. The USB and link is the same as the 2000's, the platters are better than then2000's, and it has most of the other features from the 2000 and the 900 mixer (with some fancy extra bits) so why spend all that money when you can get this? I'm positive a 4ch version will come out and it will have 8 pads on each player for starters, as well as more fancy features.
