My advice would be to wait until after Winter NAMM (in January) to see what your options are.

I don't know if you have a lot of gigs between now and then and whether that wait might interrupt your schedule, but there are going to be some new releases announced then and before plunking down $1k for the DX (which is a nice controller for sure), you might want to see what will be available after that show.

If it new stuff that will take a few months to release, then maybe you go for it.

But if the stuff is supposed to come out in 30 to 60 days, then you might find something even better with Itch 2.0 than what is available now.

Numark is going to release a 4 channel controller - so you know that is coming...
