are you looking to go dvs or stay full midi? from the sounds of it, it's dvs you're leaning toward.
imho cdj dvs is pointless, might aswell just use cds in them as it boils down to same thing, however; they have pretty much taken over now and you're more likely to find clubs with just cdj instead of just tt.
tt mixing is slowly becoming a dieing art, or at the least will become very specialist, and you'll find yourself having to lug them with you from time to time. the only real reason i can see for tt dvs now is if you were a scratch/battle dj
however, with cd if you have a crash for whatever reason you have a back up then, just mix normally on the cds - which again imo makes more sense than dvs cd as you don't gain any more functions, just a virtual record box. i just honestlt don't see the point, lol
i'd honestly look at staying full midi (just my thought). look at what you're using now, how you're using and consider what you're limited by atm, and what kit you can add, or swap to to push in the direction you want to go.
i assume you're after dvs to scratch with to at some point? you could get a vci 100/300 and get a similar result, for less of the cost. and keep it along side current gear for 4 deck control, if you wanted? or to keep the 'look' of something traditional get an eks xp5 (or 2)
the cons you run into here, though, would be space related so don't over do it on kit if you go this route. keep it simple and as small as possible. if you can.
as i tend to say in alot of these threads, it's about how you want to work. don't just go getting dvs/cdjs because everyone else is. unless it has a specific benefit to what you want to do.
i.e lots of scratching etc, tt dvs, little bit of scratch now and again, vci or similar. 4 decks mash-ups/live remixing/cue juggles stay on the midi road
