I just am really longing to be able to ditch the laptop if I want to and just plug a usb stick in and mix. I really miss my CDJ-1000s and their jogs but I don't miss burning CDs.
I love that the CDJ-2000s show cover art. I love the jogs, I love the pitch faders, I love the play and cue buttons. I just really enjoy mixing on them whereas it feels stale syncing on my X1s. DVS with traktor scratch is better but it is an annoying setup to have to use a laptop and a soundcard and I would still rather mix on CDJs or advanced HID on CDJs.
I just like being able to walk up to my setup at any time and mix and not have to plug in a ton of stuff to my laptop and load up traktor.
I'm not even playing out anywhere right now, this would just be for me. I'm sure there are much better things to spend or not spend $3200 on. Part of me just wants to get them so I couldn't possibly have anything else I could want to add to my DJ setup and I could stop thinking about gear I don't need.
It seems like a new controller comes out every other day and they all seem less and less interesting- I couldn't really care less about the new NI thing or the K2 and just want to mix on 2 CDJs and utilize the input matrix on the DB4 for sampling.
I also wonder if I should wait in case they are going to announce something new or a CDJ-20000 MK2. I kind of doubt it but they have been out for like 3 years now.
