    If you will move to Rekordbox, then yes. To just mix CDs traditionally, probably not. For Traktor, I much prefer HID with 2000s then timecode with 1000s.

    If u wanna use HID mode or usb sticks, then yes definately. either cdj 900s/2000s/2000 nexus.

    If cds, theres not much big advantage.

    I find timecode cds on cdj1000s, alil dodgy. E.g. cue-ing makes the record jump a lil front/back and not returning to the cue point.

    There is a slight lag on timecode too, after using timecode for years it felt weird having more direct jog control, but that was only for 5 minutes lol. If you want a future proof deck go for the 2000 nexus as I cannot see anything else you would need on a deck in the future.
    Partner them with a couple of vinyl decks and you can play everything

    The difference between using my 2000s in HID vs timecode is night and day; you get so much more precision and functionality with HID.
