VCI-100: black vs.silver
I am in a debate on if it is worth selling my VCI-100 silver for a black one?
Bsides the color, is the black much better? I like the blue on white lights and
heard the buttons and jog plates are better. I bought my VCI-100 for about 275.00 USD and to upgrade to a VCI-100B it would be another 250 or so..
What u think?
Yeah or nay?
The ones with flames on them go faster.
lol
so it is all cosmetics
Unless you buy them from Ean, if you just buy a VCI-100 with black coloring then yes, the only difference is cosmetic.
It is a VCI-100 B from Germany.
I would then upgrade the FW to 1.3..
Then a SE>
how much is it all going to cost you in the end?
about in Euro..
250 E..about twice the price because the VCI-100 silver I got was used, this one would be brand new..
I love the looks, but is it really worth it..Only thing I see being a real + is the improved blue/ white lighting.
the vci-100b are expensive the usually go for $550 USD plus s&h. They usually carry them on ebay (japan store) and in the UK Thomann, etc.
I would advise you to keep the silver vci buy the firmware kit & knobs and sliders when its avail and get the overlay or wait from the traktor pro one thats coming soon.
The VCI-100 SE or B models are really night and you could never go wrong with black, but for the B model all your really paying for is the white/blue leds, the rest you can mod on your own.
ive used both and i think the buttons are better on the black
tru kaon buttons are soft on the black model. but once you do the arcade mode on the silver one your good!
You said you got the VCI 100 silver for 250 bucks? Over here (Germany) they are more than 500 Euros… silver & black = same price?
I got my VCI-100 for about 300 Euro, but used. VCI-100b’s are very hard to find used and not much cheaper. Are the buttons on the VCI-100 blacks only softer on the transport controls? Is the lighting so much better?
I dunno..any other thoughts?
i’m happy with my silver one but a couple of weeks after i bought it the place i bought it from had the black ones available at a special price of $100AU less… i was a bit pissed off.
If i really cared about cosmetics though i’d own a mac…
that sux..
I think it is not worth it to sell and buy a new one..
It is not the controller looks, but what I do with it anyway.
i actualy got black one, brand new, for reaaaly good bargain (under 200Euro)… how lucky me. (yes it was regular GC).
wow..was that a deal!!..was it “hot”? I mean this price is below retailer costs.
What is a “GC”?
