Would like some advice from people that have used either the Kontrol S4 or VCI-400 SE or both. I had the pioneer 350 setup that I used with Traktor but sold it as I was not happy with simply just mixing and feel myself leaning more towards the controllerist side of things. I sold it with the intention of getting the Kontrol S4 but after recently watching DJ Tech Tools video on the VCI-400 SE I thought it was the perfect piece of kit I was looking for. The only problem is that it will cost me an extra €200 on taxes and duties to import it to Ireland. I know it's on offer for $850 at the moment which is about €700 including delivery but it will cost me €900 to get it into the country. Basically what I want to know is is it worth the extra €200 in taxes. I can get a second hand Kontrol S4 for about €550 maybe less if I'm lucky so straight away I'm saving €350 over the VCI-400 SE and I'll still prob have to get a Kontrol F1 at an additional cost of €240 with both of them if I really want to make use of Traktor's Remix decks. I really want the VCI-400 SE but it's a lot of extra cash that I could save if I go with the Kontrol S4. I know the VCI-400 SE is much better build quality but I basically want to know is it a better piece of kit for a controllerist over the Kontrol S4 with the DJ Tech Tools firmware and mapping and if so is it good enough to be worth shelling out an extra €350-€400.
