Reply to I can get a xone:4D for 1070$. Should I? (Rookie DJ)

Hi all

This is my first post but I have been lurking around here for a while

I have been bedroom-djing for a while on my Hercules RMX and got quite sucked into the whole thing. I had to kind of take a brake because university took its toll on my free time. Anyways, as graduation is nearing, I am preparing to get back into the whole thing. Actually, I want to take it to the next level and, at some point, try to get some gigs.

So I need a new controller for Traktor. After reading a shitton of information and reviews on controllers and stuff, I have narrowed down my selection to the VCI-400, the Pioneer DDJ-T1 and the Denon DN-MC6000. Considering the S2/S4 too...

Turns out I could probably get a used Xone4D for 1050$, including a Zomo Flightcase. I figure the price is quite good as it costs only marginally more than the above mentioned controllers.
However, I am aware that this is very much high-end gear and its probably overkill for someone with my skills...

But the real issue is that I'm concerned with the age of this monster. It's been released 5 years ago and tech has since moved on. I guess the mixer is probably still topnotch, but the controller features are probably dated. Also, this thing completley lacks labels on the buttons, which sucks.

I just feel uncomfortable shedding such an amount of money for gear that was designed in 2007, and not even for specific use with traktor...
Any thoughts/good advice for me?

Thank you!
