Are the CDJ400s any good?

I just want to lean the basics of cdjs do you believe a second hand pair of these will serve me well?

Yeah, they are kinda small, but they have HID compatibility so you will also have a controller, along with the standard cdjs

The 400s are still far too small for my liking though.
Since you use Traktor already, even the CDJ 400s will be better than anything Reloop. Rather than bothering with physical CDs or having to sort your collection onto USB sticks, you can turn the 400s into HID controllers and access your whole Traktor library from the CDJ screen.

A Reloop will never be able to do this.

Also from reviews of the RMPs it seems they have not managed to properly implement the very basics of a DJ CD player, namely the use of the jog wheel to pitch bend.

02.04.2013		They are bloody Brill 'lil players, end of story, however the price of them rivals (or exceeds) 800's mk2's

I always kinda dismissed them after I'd used CDJ100's years ago and hated them. then played on a pair 2+ years back as they were provided by the promoter and thought I'd give them a whirl and was REALLY impressed, so much so I didnt even bother touching my laptop the rest of the evening :P

03.04.2013		Only thing I can suggest is that you try them for yourself I would never recommend buying something without actually seeing it first, but they're stocked in a fair few places in the UK and Europe so it's not too difficult to have a ganders at them in real life before you buy

03.04.2013		very functional players, i own 2, and as soon as you know your way around them, you can do anything people do on 2000's, except the hot cues. Browsing through a USB drive is a pain in the ass tho.

03.04.2013		I love them. I'd take them over 800's and 1000's... seriously I loved them.

That covers the basics.
