Reply to Should I swap my controllers?

I have a VCI-100 and a Launchpad that I use with Traktor Pro 2. I also have an LPD8. At the moment I use the VCI with DJTT's mapping and the Launchpad with a mapping as a instan grat midifighter and hot cue launcher. I also use the Launchpad for production in Ableton.

I've been considering selling my VCI and LPD8 and replacing with the VMS4 Traktor Edition. I know the VCI is 'better' in a lot of ways, but the VMS4's look and layout seems more 'me'. Also, the fact it has a simple 4 deck layout, and more knobs, button, faderes and touch strips/mousepad makes it more customisable and mappable than the VCI and easier to run 4 decks off.

I don't scratch and mix electro/house in the main. Anyone got any opinions (without being too fanboy-ish about the VCI )?
