Reply to Beginning DJ - Need help

Hi, I'm a high schooler who wants to get into DJing, but I have a small budget and the most I can afford to get is between the Hercules RMX and the Numark Omni Control midi controllers.

For the past month I've been researching on both units, and I have mixed reviews and opinions on both, such as one lacks sampling, one has Traktor, the other has virtual DJ, one review said the Omni has a terrible sound card, etc.

I'm going to get it this Thursday, but I'm having a difficult time making a decision, because I'm a bit stressed about ensuring that I get a set that can last, can help me learn the ropes, and preform satisfactory in gigs.

Sorry if I'm sounding too demanding, but I would greatly appreciate your help and opinions. I'm not sure which of the two to purchase, unless there's another unit close to the same price that is better.

Thanks again.
