Reply to vci 100 or 300 or mk2 ??? please help

hi there,

I hope I am posting this at the right spot. I have sold my dvs system and want to use a controller instead. I am believeing of going either for the vestax vci 300 or 100mk2 or 100. every device has its advantages and disadvantages what makes it really difficult to make a decission. I really like the scratch performance of the vci 300 but it kinda pisses me of that I have to buy a vfx in addition to use the effects. it also doesn't have 4 deck support... so if I want to trigger my samples I need another device or hopefully the bridge+ableton(if itch 2.0 is ever released) which will also cost another few hundered dollars.
so if I put all together I will spend at least 1000$ for a complete setup ...
if I go for the vci 100 I need an additional soundcard and the 1.4 firmware upgrade...
or I go for the 100mk2 which doesn't have the best soundcard and as far as I know also doesn't have 14 bit midi pitchfaders.

to sum it up.... is there anyone who can recommend me one of the controllers? All I want is ONE reliable device plus my macbook when I go spinning. or do you believe it is worth spending a 1000$ and go for the vci 300 + vfx?
oh, before I forget... I have to buy it asap... need to spin with it on the 31st...

thanks for your time...
