Reply to Which CDJ Is Right For Me?

Hi.

I've been looking around for a few days now for a new set up.
So far, i've decided that I'm going to stick with traktor, and i'm going to get an S4 so that I can control it completely.
However, i have also decided that I want 4 separate CDJs to control each deck. The two little platters on the S4 won't be enough for me because I want 4, not 2, and they're very small.

So, best case scenario, I want 4 Pioneer CDJ 900s.
Unfortunately, that is very expensive!

What CDJs should I get that don't cost as much? Also, slip mode is very nice.

OR, are there any midi CDJs that really aren't CDJs? If that makes sense.
I don't really need to play songs off them, or CDs. I just need them to control the deck.

For example, the DJ Tech CDJ 101 is simply a platter... that's it.

I have two of those now and well... they're god awful. BUT I do like the idea of them only being used only as a platter. I just wish it had a bit more, was bigger, and didn't suck.


I'd like something with loop controls on it, slip mode, and hot cues.
It can be just a regular CDJ or a "not CDJ".
If possible, nothing over $1000. But if you believe something is really perfect for me and over $1000, let me know.

Any recommendations?

PS: Here's just a random question, is there anyway to use slip mode on a CDJ that doesn't have the option built in? Maybe something in Traktor? Any way at all to do it?
