If you have Traktor already, and still have a budget of $1000, then I'd say try out the few MIDI controllers out there. I am very partial to the VCI-100 and some sort of pad controller (I use a MIDIFighter, currently), and an Audio8DJ. THere are people who use the Hercules, the X-Session Pro, as well as any number of controllers that are out there, both custom and not.
I would recommend an external sound card and a controller, instead of an all-in-one package, especially if you know this is a direction you want to take. If you're still dabbling than an all-in-one is a good option as well. But with NI just putting out the Audio2, and the lower price you can find a regular VCI-100, then I don't think you really need to worry about cost. Hell, you can get the Arcade VCI-100 DJTT edition AND the Audio2. But that might be jumping the gun.
Really, the objective is to know your goal and plan for it. You want to spin in clubs? All you really need are: laptop; laptop stand; sound card; controller; cables; knowhow.
