Reply to Xone 1d- whaddya think?

Right now I have a vci-100 and it simply isn't working out for me:

* crappy buttons (I know about the arcade button mod but not really interested)
* some strange layout decisions (maybe they work for others but not for me)
* low resolution sliders (not precise enough for perfect beatmatching. I'm starting to get really frustrated with this)

Anyway, my point is, the vci-100 is not going to work for me, at least by itself (I do love the jog wheels, though). I'm curious to know why the xone 1d hasn't been talked about much around here- I'd like to know more about these little guys.

I like the xones because they have a simple layout but have enough buttons/knobs/sliders to have a lot of control. The two layouts I'm considering are two xone 1ds on the sides with either a real analog mixer (I have a nice vestax pcv-275 from my vinyl days) or my vci-100 (to stay entirely digital) in the middle. If I have a vci in the middle, then I can control 4 decks with 4 jog wheels which would be nice, but I'd still have to live with low resolution pitch sliders.

Time to wind down my post. My actual question is what do you believe of the xone 1d controllers? Are the jog wheels high enough resolution? Are there better alternatives?

Thanks guys!
