also, most pioneer fx sound a bit cheesy, i'm not a really big fan...
Don't get me wrong, as I said, it's an absolutely fantastic mixer, with some of the best filters. And effects choice is definitely an afterthought when it comes to great sets. I just feel that by buying the 92, that he/she would be spending that extra money on control over the two return channels that they probably wouldn't use. The DB2 and 92 are in a very very similar price-range, makes more sense to me to move sideways.

That also being said, I also agree about the Pioneer FX being a bit cheesy, but I've seen pretty rad sets with them too =P.

It's much better suited to a Traktor/Ableton DJ who are going to be using the software delays/reverbs, or running the Send/Return channels to an additional effects box.

wow, 600$ is a really great deal for the 92, would have been stupid to not get it
have fun!

I appreciate the words of wisdom. I just bought a xone 92 for $600, and was just curious about my other options.

If you're looking for a multitude of amazing Delays/Reverbs, and subtle effects, the DB2 and DB4 will be your god.

If you're looking for more instant gratification/in your face effects, you might be better suited to the DJM 900 or 2000
