Three decks, three prices, one N00B needs help

You did nothing wrong, and pissed no one off! This community IS NOT like some others where guys will rant and flame you. The other posters were just poking a little fun.
I also wouldn't worry about what you get being too complex, the controller is probably the easiest thing to learn in digital DJ'n. Once you get into things there's midi mapping, customizing, and an additional controller. That's just on the hardware side of things.
Learning song structure, phrasing, bars and beats, keys and mixing harmonically, song selection, etc. will take you longer to perfect than any controller.
Like I said before, if you stick with it the controller will eventually get tossed for something better, but the other stuff (song structure, etc) will stay with you no matter what you use to make it happen.

Don't be intimidated by the number of controls on the steel. There are a few people on here who've just started DJing by buying an NI Kontrol S4 which is even more complicated! You'll get the hang of the controller itself in no time and I'm sure you'll enjoy the results. I made the mistake of buying something cheap and small to start with and I got rid of it after about 3 months.

I didn't check the specs on the units you listed, but if they don't have an internal sound card, you will need an external one. The Numark DJ i/O is a good cheap one, or the Maya 44. For a little more the Native Instruments Audio DJ2 is very good.
