Help me spend $1,000!

Really? Guitar Center lied to me then O.o. Thanks for saving me some cash then!

I think I'll just grab myself an audio 2 dj and just use my Numark Battle Pack for fun and beat matching practice ^.^

check out the denon dn-x1600, this piece of kit is amazing as this mixer is full midi and dvs ready without no need for sound card. slap an apc-20 with this and get your time coded vinyls and the possibilities are endless

That's cool, but I would rather just buy a VCI-100se and traktor scratch pro for $1,000 bucks O.o

I like option 2 out of what you have listed. Keep in mind that your turntables aren't the best, and if you're serious about using tts you should invest in a pair of techs.

Now if it were me personally...

vci-100
midi fighter
korg nanokontrol
presonus firebox (although I'd happily settle for an audio 2)

why? vci-100 because it's built like a tank, has decent jogwheels, and endless possibilities. midi fighter for cue point juggles, and the nanokontrol for fx control. but that's my own style, and I've already got most of this up and running anyway so I'm a bit biased. Ultimately you gotta figure out what you want and go for it, and whatever you do don't let the money be a factor - if you know what you WANT, go get it, it's better than buying shoddy stuff that'll just end up in the corner when you finally replace it with what you should have gotten in the first place.

What are you running VCI wise? SE, Arcade, or just the standard? I also would like to ask if it's even worth it to get the arcade... O.o

standard vci-100, used the firmware kit to upgrade to v 1.3 firmware. tried using the djtt mappings, bought the overlays and everything but ended up just mapping it in a way that makes sense to my drunk mind at 3 am.

Well... I guess I should get the VCI-100SE and use the Ean Golden mapping since I don't drink (I have a very addictive personality) O.o
