Pros: ~I have all the features I will need for most of my mixes. ~Totally custom and unique. Cons: ~Expensive. ~Lot of Work. ~Have to map and convert all messages, buttons, knobs, and faders. 2)Pricey yet Nicey -Either a TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 or NUMARK NS6. -Two Classic Midi Fighters -One Midi Fighter Pro Pros: ~Lots of features ~Easy to map in any program Cons: ~Very Expensive ~Hard to transport 3) DJTT Geek -VCI-100 Arcade Edition -2 Midi Fighter Classics -1 Midi Fighter Pro -M-AUDIO X-Session Pro Pros: ~Lots of good reviews by other DJTT members ~Inexpensive ~Can hold lots of features ~Lots of different mappings ~Extremely durable ~Easy to modify ~Not difficult to understand ~Portable Cons: ~Lots of plastic pieces So if it isn't obvious -- I am probably gooing to become a DJTT Geek.
