On sizing, I have to point out that the problem with the 4trak is not the weight, it's the same problem with all all-in-one controllers: stage space. Setting them up is awful, especially for the DJs on before and after you. EVERY real DJ-oriented gig has CDJs and a mixer set up in the center of the stage, so even if you can set up an all-in-one, it's off to the side and awkward. It's not worth it. Much better to figure out how to incorporate the gear already on stage at events, so that you can make your workflow possible without being horribly intrusive. The HID mode on the CDJ2000's and the sound card in the DJM-900 are great for this. There's no reason to set up a controller with jog wheels and a mixer if there are already jogwheels and a mixer on stage, just figure out how to use standard gear and buy modular controllers to supplement it, if you do things you can't do with the regularly available gear.
For instance if you want cue points, buy a small button controller like a midi fighter. if you want effects control, buy something with knobs. If you want to use four decks, buy modular deck controllers like the CMD PL-1/Reloop Contour and set them up alongside the provided gear.
I did the all-in-one thing for a while, and found that it's a terrible idea, unless you're either a famous producer, or a new DJ playing gigs that don't have standard equipment. I can't tell you how many times I've fucked up the DJ before or after me while trying to set up or tear down just a simple S4. Not worth it. With just a sound card, I've found literally ANY advantage of an all-in-one setup easily and cheaply replicable with simple supplemental controllers, and whatever gear the event has. (any CDJs, and/or turntables, and any mixer)
