    It depends on what you want to do, how you play and what you play on software wise. If your the old skool records type I would say the Numark Ns7, but its very expensive and you'll have to find a mapping or make one.

    Digital DJ type, I wouldn't go with the Denon. But atm the wouldn't go with the S4 either ($900). I would go with with the Reloop Jockey 3 ($700). Its cheaper so I would add a Kontrol X1. But S4 over the Denon mc6000 imo.

    as far as i know with the ns7 you will have to use Itch, because the platters wont spin with other software such as traktor.

    yeh, as yet traktor doesn't support spinning platters. Who knows what'll come in TP2 though.

    Go for the S4.

    imo opinion its goes as following:
    S4 i own one and its hax (S4 all the way all time <3)
    N7 is pretty decent but no traktor ? what a waste of fantastic hardware
    dn-mc6000 nah S4 and N7 are way better and cooler :P
