I believe the Mixdeck express comes with VDJ LE, is this program OK? |

Yup it's good. But if budget is not a problem, then go for the S4. You can at least use DVS later on when you decide to hook up a pair of turntables or CD players.
You can find used ones for bargain prices. |

But if you don't need the CD capabilities, then look into NI S2. Just add $100 and you're set.
