2. There's no real backup policy. What if a laptop crashes? You're kind of screwed right? With CDJs, if your laptop crashed while using the CDJs as HID controllers, you can use USBs. Even CDJ2000s can us CDs still, so there's another level of backup added on.
3. This assumes everyone uses Traktor, knows how, and understands the workflow of an S8. Granted you could make the same argument of Rekordbox and what not, but even CDJs allow you to just go for it and reject using a software if you wish.
