Two deals offered by Guitar Center for mixers

[grockin]

Was on the phone with a guitar center salesmen. I have two deals on the table and I have until tomorrow. I have two technic 1200s with an old gemini mixer. I switched from serato to traktor a while back. Now I use Traktor. Here are the two deals offered for mixers:
1. Pioneer DJM T1-$872
2. Rane TTM 56S-$725

If I get the rane mixer then I have to buy the traktor audio 10. Just looking for opinions. I spin urban music. Thanks for any suggestions.

I'd go with the Pio out of the two...

if you want to use the eq's, loops and effects get the pio, if you want to scratch you can't beat rane.

I'd get the pio though, sooner or later the innofader will be made to fit and the rane will have no advantage.

$725 is a couple hundred too high for the Rane even it is brand new.

Go for the pio.

Pio. You can get like new 56s for $400.

Why would you ever buy gear from Guitar Center....? That's like buying computers at staples...

For sure. Id grab a used 56 off eBay/Craigslist for $350 - $400 easy.
