I was just wondering what everyone thinks of the Traktor D2 in general? Having two paired with the Traktor Z2 to take out for gigs. I have turntables and don't know if I should keep the one D2 I own. Thanks.

Honestly, I prefer the F1 for use with TT's. F1 + Remix Decks are a MASSIVE bonus, and tons of fun, for use with 2 turntables and a mixer.
Get yourself an F1, mate.

I really dig them myself. I got that set on either side of my Allen & Heath Xone92. My only issue is with Native Instruments not placing the power supply block within the unit enclosure and having it with a bulky power block right at the plug outlet. This, paired with the A10 audio interface plug just takes up so much room its a bit annoying.
But having the 2 screens, access to your remix decks (Yes the F1 has double the pads), and keeping your attention to your mixing decks in front of you feels great. From a performance perspective, its relieving to not have the Laptop face anymore.
My set up has shrunk to a Z2, 2 * D2 and an F1. This is how I play out now and I really like the D2's, only really work as a pair though. I bought 1 to put my toe in the water, bought the second unit two weeks later and sold my X1's straight away.
Probably should have kept the X1's as a back up but totally sold on the D2's, and really like stems too. If I've set up a play list which I mostly do I pretty much dont look at the laptop all night.
Want more info on the screens though, not tried the hacks yet, was hoping Native would man up and do an official version to allow tailoring to suit.

Damn, I didn't know the mk2 is USB powered. Maybe it would be worth getting the newer one down the road.
