Get the S*...
Between the two, the SZ hands down. The rx is nice, but you are going to eventually want 4 channels. Why invest twice just to add two channels. Hope that helps.

I completely disagree. A lot of DJ's don't use 4 channels, maybe three. But the real question is; what are you planning on doing with it?
if you're only going to play at home and never take it out, go with the SZ. It's too big to take with you on a weekly basis but it is the best experience for the price you can get compared to CDJ's. It needs your laptop, and that's another thing you have to keep in mind: If you bring it to gigs you also have to bring your laptop, which increased carryload and risk.
If you want something to take out regularly and/or are a mobile dj, buy the RX. Closest you'll get to CDJ's and you don't have to drag along a laptop.
Want something you can carry around and don't mind bringing your laptop? Get the DDJ-SX(2). 4 Channels, awesome piece of equipment, cheap compared to the others. It's my choice for all my mobile gigs, however I'm thinking about the RX for a while now, simply because then I wouldn't have to bring my laptop with me anymore.
Rx is an awesome bit of gear, SZ is also awesome, but for a beginner, They are both a big spend..

something like that yeah...it you feel the need to ask a general "which one should I get" question about advanced gear then you are not on that level yet. nothing wrong with buying quality qear for your first setup but this is a little over the top.
only useful advice i can give is to stick with 2 channels - by the time you master them, your gear will be obsolete anyway - so it doesn't matter which one you buy now.

I have yet to see a DJ that takes more than a few min to get adjusted coming from say DJM-400 (2ch) to DJM-700/800/etc.. (4ch)
And also have more than a few friends who work as club dj's that have sold their CDJ's+mixers because now they don't use them, have a shitload of money tied into them and take a lot of space in their bedrooms but need a portable setup for a occasional bar/mobile gig (usually they bought pioneer controllers instead).
