So did I, and I did everything on it for the past 5 years, production, video editing, DJ'ing, Web Development - the lot.
Just plug it in when you want a mix, plug it out when its needed for something else - simples
I honestly wouldn't let that put you off getting
a controller, and if you did go that route I'd personally go all-in-one for convenience sake, go modular with controllers and you have more issues e.g. Jog wheel performance which you complained about with the 400's, so no doubt would be an issue with modular units too.
If you were planning on splashing out on the SZ though you'd probably be as well off getting CDJ 900's and a Decent Mixer with S/R and have the best of all worlds for almost the same money and a more future proof setup.
I'm still searching for a video that not shows the technical wizardry and use of effects,
but also sounds enjoyable enough on the ears that it doesn't sound like an angry teenager with ADD clawing at my skull after 5 minutes
Happy hunting ..
