just saying, but if I wanted DVS and just mixed 2 decks I would go with Mixvibes. £100 software and soundcard, not to be sniffed at.

It's not the gear. It's how you use it.
limitations are the source of creativity.
If you don't practice you don't want it.

A used Audio4/6 along with a new Scratch software kit won't run you much more than that.
VCM100 / X1 / DJM250 / DJM900 / CDJ2000s / Maschine / Audio2+4 / 2i4 / HS8s / TSP 2.6.8

Really just depends on what software you like and how much you want to spend.
I personally use an Audio 8 with latest TSP2 and does great for me. I like Traktor's layout better and personally think Traktor is more flexible than Serato is. Plus not all updates are paid for, lot are free. When I first bought Traktor, I got it cheaper than I could ever get Serato as well.
DJ Setup: MacBook Pro, TSP 2.5, (2) Stanton STR8-100, Ecler NUO4, Kontrol X1, Kontrol F1, Stanton DJ Pro 2000 headphones, Ortofon Nightclub needles.
I've given this question much though as I may switch back to turntables in the next couple of years.
I like SSL's simplicity, but since It took almost two weeks to initially grid, cue and set loops when I first switch to TP, I can't see myself switching again.
So A10 for me.

I don't ever want to be bothered with gridding tracks.
That being said, I really enjoy SSL's interface. I've actually been debating selling my SL1 for an SL4 box for awhile now, because it would just make life so much easier for transitioning between DJ's using SSL. That dual USB feature is something amazing if you're working with others using SSL often.
Great input, mate! I'm looking for an SL4 or A10 as I want 4 deck control and I have a DB4, so I love the idea of having one set of RCAs for each channel to control MP3 or Vinyl (no need to switch).
I'm running an SL1 at the moment and have had 0 issues with Serato software. It is bare bones, but does everything I want it to do. The dual USB is awesome for gigs, too. The price difference is the only thing making think of going for the A10 instead.
Do you think Traktor will ever let you change the wav forms from horizontal to vertical? Serato lets you have it anyway you like.

Well I got a free copy of Serato DJ (full, not Intro) with my Terminal Mix 4, and it's just... wank. Utterly, utterly wank in comparison to Traktor. The FX are a joke, the EQing sounds shite, etc etc. The ONLY good thing about it is that it has parallel waveforms; if NI add that in TP3, then I highly doubt anyone will use Serato after that.
