Reply to What the hell do I buy?

Im basicly a cut and paste + beatrepeat remixer who plays glitch-hop/dub pretty straight forward 2 channel style in TSP when I play out. I had a Arcade edition til it was stolen, My only complain with the arcade was im a big guy and it felt kinda small and looked kinda dinky in the booth next to a 4d and Now that im gonna get new gear I can't decide what to get.... Build another arcade or a xone 2d (mix internally) or midifighter(as a cue box) + $400 vestax mixer and audio 4 card....Do i break the bank and set the plastic on fire and shell out the extra 500 for the A&H DX? Do I get an Otus? (mixing internally on that doesnt look fun)

My concerns with the 1d/2d are the line faders. I havent played with a 2d and the faders dont look like I could slam them up like tradition DJ fader and i'd probably want to cue with the bottom 4 row of buttons.. how are those buttons??

Really like the prospect of just flopping the 2d down between the mixer and decks when i go out though...
