I think you will need to give more information about what you want out of your controller before you will get decent answers.

Are you just starting out?

I own my S2 since sunday now, and I love it. Great layout, the buttons and knobs are high quality and the only thing the S4 can do better is 4Deck control I think(which i dont really miss...2 + 2sample/remix decks are enough for me). The rest seems to be nearly the same(nearly!). Just have a closer look at the webpage of both products and then decide what you need.

thanks for the help

The S4 is more capable, the S2 is more portable.
The S4 allows "full control" of 4 decks and 4 EQ banks. The S2 allows control of two full decks, and two sample decks.
The S4 is $900. The S2 is half that. (Do you have other toys you need/want to buy?)

^best response, you can search this all over the djtt forum.

imo the main things that s4 has that s2 doesnt

-4 channels with eq
-you can use timecode with the S4
-filter knobs (yes you can map one of the s2 knobs ur not using to filter, but s4 already has it built in right under the eqs)
-sample decks

Just for info though, if you do this do you not lose the super accurate hid jogs?
