Of course it does
It depends on what you do, like! I prefer s2+x1 because I've dedicated controls over the 2track deck and 2 sample deck.
Meanwhile on s4 you have to use the same controls of deck a to control deck c with layouts(in advance mode, if you want only sample play and eq, they are always ready to go!)
S2, only track decks, x1, advance control over sample, knob used for single sample volume, filters and eqs, button for play stop and retrigger, and in hotcue mode for activating sample options (like fx enable, key lock, sample mode ...)
S4 is great because is all in one.
I think that if you sum s2+x1 controls an compare to s4, you should have 2 more knobs in the s4, but more buttons with s2+x1.
(I'm selling my setup for an s4, not because they are not working well, only because I'm not using sample deck too much, and, looking for remix deck, I think in the future s4+f1 should be my setup )

The only problem will be that S4+F1 is gonna be huuuuge!!! Almost impossible to use in most clubs but ill definitely have the S4+F1 Combo!!!

I say go S4. To me it just feels like a stronger controller and its not huge but not tiny either. And I agree the S4+F1 will be a damn good setup. (I think ill add a 1210 to mine for alittle more scratch versatility)
If you don't have haters, you're not doing it right
S4+F1+Turntable= Awesome setup!
I will see what I will get out of S4+Maschine+Remix Decks.
Chances are high to see some tremendous routines in near future!
I don't mind size really, i like having bigger set ups anyway. I feel like i have more possibilities and it looks better in my opinion.
so you all think i should get an S4 plus an F1 OR an S2 plus an X1 and an F1. But would there be a reason for me to get a S4 and an X1 AND F1?
I think s4+x1+f1 would be too much (i will have that setup am only missing the f1) why dont you go ahead and try the s4 first its amazing just by itself and then add the f1 for the new remix decks and then if you need and want more try another controller and incorporate it on something like ableton live so you can do something different!!!!!!!

Yeah that's probably what i'll end up doing.
Nevertheless, one could find S4+X1+F1 combo useful. S4 could do everything it normally does, X1 additionally controls FX 3 and 4 and maybe some more nice stuff and the F1 would control the remix decks. Even though some of you will think this is overkill, I think it would be quite nice, would give you nearly all possibilities of Traktor software and would be really comfortable (no shiftings!).
As said, try and then buy what you're missing!
