Reply to Old boy needs help with new stuff. KP3 or Traktor route???

Hello,

So I have a conundrum and after 16 hours of googling i am more confused than before!

I have been djing for years for fun as a hobby (and out back in the day enough to pay for my vinyl ) I also produce for fun, again I have been doing that for ages.

I have:
2 x 1210's
Numark DM2000x that really needs replacing due to pops and clicks when i change headphone channels.
Cubase 4
Reason 4
M audio oxygen 8 controller
Novation K Station
Spirit portfolio 6 channel mixer
Edirol UA 25
rack compressor

Having recently just got back into DJing, I want to get into it more! But i love producing and could not live without it.

What i really like the look of is the Kaospad3 and figure I can use it for both DJing to create some nice blends between various genres of music (I have mellowed with age) and as an fx unit when producing. I was looking to use it to create some loops on the fly, echo that out and bring some other stuff in when mixing (sort of thing) - 120 bpm just doesn't go nice with Alice Russel, for instance. I could grab some old film vocals and use those to really get creative in terms of transitions. It would also lend itself to producing and remixing my own songs on the fly to add some more interesting mixes - some hands on creativity as opposed to drawing automation curves and serve as an fx unit.

But I am really torn between the above and going down the Traktor scratch route. I don't have bucks to spend - around
