Reply to Stanton SCS.3D

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to purchase a pair of SCS.3Ds for my new digital DJ setup. I really want to get these, but since price is a little bit of an issue I was trying not to go for the setups Ive been seeing around the net. These are some of the ideas that I came up with that are purely theoretical, so if you have any suggestions or anything wrong to point out, please let me know. Otherwise, please help me with some advice. I know I could also get the entire SCS 3 system, but I was looking for a little more versatility and to not look like too much of a simple DJ for my live shows.

Hercules RMX + 2 SCS.3Ds
Use the RMX as the mixer, and use the inputs on the RMX for the SCS.3Ds. I would be able to switch between decks via the Source button on the RMX, but is this practical at all? I would have access to decks, but only 2 at a time I suppose. How would I be able to preview any of the decks if 2 are playing? Plus only 2 upfaders and maybe 1 more if the master can be mapped to a deck?

I figured only the Hercules RMX would work, because the Omni Control, Torq Xponent, etc dont have the inputs/outputs needed for the idea I was believeing about.

Mixer(Behringer DDM-4000 or equivalent) + 2 SCS.3Ds
Now this would look pretty disproportionate size-wise, but it would allow for me to get some CDs/vinyls into the setup easier when that time comes.

Mixer + Midi Controller + 2 SCS.3Ds
All 4 decks would go into the computer then into the mixer via USB audio interface. Is this also really ever done? It seems the easiest work out of the 3 options, but just doesnt seem quite right to me.

So basically, is there anyway to efficiently use these without going for a mixer+CDs/vinyl setup and only use it as an addon? Let me know and thanks in advance.
