Yeah I really regret getting 1200s; they're obsolete.

ive just got back in to djing after about a 5/6 year break! just re bought my 1210's (as i sold my 1st pair)
something so iconic can never be obsolete.. im never going to sell the set ive just bought.. so much fun mixing vinyl
my only worry is when i eventually want to get out there and play in bars/clubs, will they support me having timecode? things used to be technically simpler all i had to do was rock up with my vinyl and maybe my carts, now i need to plug my A6 in and wire it all up......

Love the sarcasm. Timecode makes your point irrelevant... Unless you're one of those people that still enjoys carrying hundreds of vinyls with them everywhere they go and doesn't want anything to do with the massive advantages of DVS. In which case, yes... Turntables are the better buy in all cases, since you're forgoing the computer entirely. This is not the OP's case.
My point is simple... If you scratch, turntables (Technics or otherwise) are a solid investment... If you don't... there's really no reason to purchase them over other equipment that you will utilize more regularly. The best value for your money is in equipment that you'll use the most and is most vital to your workflow.

Or you can spin timecode and take a few real records with you to a gig. Mixing with turntables is so much more enjoyable than hitting cue buttons or hitting sync especially if you're only using two decks. Add a small controller like an X1 and you can do anything any other set up can do without loosing the feel of vinyl.
No I'm saying turntables are a great investment because -
1. It lets you use DVS (which lets you do anything a CDJ or controller set up can do)
2. You can go full analogue if you like
3. You can spin records if you like collecting them
4. It's fun beat matching and and manipulating a vinyl record
I really can't see what the negatives are apart from portability.
