Reply to Hacked RemixDecks MF3D vs. Traktor F1

So now that the ninjas have infiltrated Traktor 2.5's remix decks, I'm thrown back into the question of which controller I'd want next... Going to be giving my MF-classic to my sibling since he's interested in learning, but the questions are:

1) Which should i grab the F1 or MF3D (I'm used to using the MF-classic)? Opinions on both!
2) Do you believe the hack will last? should i be concerned about the risks of a new update and losing the hacked controls?

edit: Think this might be in the wrong section. But it IS gear discussion right...?
