Help please, vci-400 or s4
So have been using the S2 for 4 months now, and i want to upgrade to a 4 channel controller.
so naturally i want to move to the S4, because 5 of my friends have them and they love it. and i am looking
around for the price on this. cheapest probably on ebay for around 650$.
HOWEVER, yesterday i stumbled on the VCI-400 about it can be a standalone mixer. (awesome feature)
i can buy the VCI new for 650$ also. i love that it has more buttons. (to me more button means LESS of SHIFT function to get to a secondary mapping).
so my question is the stability of the the VCI while playing at clubs??
thanks

Related thread to check out.
I've been meaning to ask this for a while... This isn't a rant, I'm really wondering here.
Just about every time anyone makes one of those "which controller should I buy" posts, the majority of the responses are NI controllers, and I don't see why....

or alternatively, they have another special at $999 and you get a pioneer HDJ 2000 for free. thats a $350 value, if you’re in the market for it also.
There are multiple threads discussing the S4 vs VCI400. Please use them.
