DDJ SX for additional control. VCI 400 for portability.

I'd agree with VCI-400 because it's just that much more open to any software. Take a look at the mappings for it on this site, there's some amazing stuff, in particular the one for Ableton take it into another league. And don't forget it's also a stand-alone audio interface too.

DDJ-SX. More features + longer and more precise pitch faders.

The VCI-400 has been around longer then the DDJ SX and alot more people have them so maybe thats why there are more mappings for it. It has 2 channel standalone the DDJ SX has 4 and has way more mapping options even if you were to use them bouth with Serato DJ DDJ SX has more options.
