Hardly, it'll be so scratch pro's can fit the faders that they like. Certain irony in getting rid of the jogwheels but then giving everyone the "OMG REPLACEABLE CROSSFADER PLS" that they badgered them for since the original S4.

not sure i see this as a unit that scratch guys would use...to me this looks like a major techno and house machine...

I would love too see a dj mixer with no crossfader someday.

Now I'm in trouble, I want one even more now!

Given where you are it might be better to go with a condesa. http://www.condesaelectronics.com/

I'm sure Medhi would do any kind of customisation you want (within reason

)
