Reply to For new DJ VCI 100SE + Midi Fighter or Traktor S4

Ok so I'm just getting into DJing, a few friends of mine own controllers so I've been practicing on those and learning how to use Traktor Pro with my keyboard/mouse. I feel like I'm making good progress and want to move to a physical controller. I am aware that both the VCI 100SE and Traktor S4 are VERY high end controllers especially for someone just getting into things (I almost feel guilty considering buying either ) but I'd rather get a good controller than a piece of junk and just end up buying a nice one a few months later. I've been watching the videos for the S4 and it looks sick, plus its got enough cue points so that I wouldn't need to get a midi fighter (I've been juggling with just my keyboard so far and I'm really warming up to it). I've been running the numbers and the Price difference between a VCI 100SE + Midi Fighter + Sound Card (All Used) is only $200 less than the Traktor S4 setup (BRAND NEW!). For a new DJ would you guys suggest dishing out the extra $200 or would I be squandering my money on something that will take me years to take advantage of?
