Reply to Best portable, robust controller for Traktor

Help please

I've been a trad DJ for donkeys but for various reasons have decided to go digital. This where the problems start.

I mostly play techno, being able to scratch would be an added bonus but not essential. My main requirements are using the Traktor software, with the ability of delving into controllerism. The only controller that has caught my attention is the Allen and Heath Xone DX, as it looks tough as nails, has replaceable components, is relatively easily transported, has a decent soundcard, has XLR, booth out and phone inputs. My worry is that it has been discontinued and therefore replacement parts may be hard to come by, also I'm worried about Traktor 2.5 and future Traktor mapping. Also would it be easy enough adding a Maschine or a Kontrol F1 or two to spice things up.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, also regarding any other controllers. Ps experience tells me I'm fairly hardwaring on my kit and I do need to be able to lug it around.

Cheers
Dave
