Reply to Midicontroller and the cdj-feel

Hi all,

I'm having troubles finding my next controller or dj-set. I want to keep beatmatching by ear and with jogwheels/ platters. I don't want to spend a whole lot on pioneer cdj's and I haven't got the room right now for 2 cdj's and a mixer but offcourse I want to be "cdj-ready" for when by accident I can spin in a club or party.

It all boils down to these questions. Does it really matter that a digital controller hasn't got the cdj-platter feel? When you're good at beatmatching does it take a few minutes of adjusting to cdj's when you are used to a digital controller?
