buy djx700 or Matrix3???

I dont which mixer should I buy Numark Matrix3 or Behringer djx700.
I heard a lot of bad things for djx700 and a few good thing for matrix3. They boath go in price under 300 � because I won�t give a cent more for mixer not because I want to save money because I joust don�t have any. So any way help me to chose the wright choice

Thanks
Ivan

If it's between the two, I'd go with the Matrix.

^^ Seriously the only Numark mixer worth buying besides the PPD9000 / 5000FX! Honestly the Matrix series mixers are right on par with Gemini mixers, and are absolute plastic and cheap metal coated crap! Did you manage to snag that one PPD01 from Ebay Toufas? It looked like a hella Phatt deal!

chapter 2

Does anyone have good experiance with djx700 or maybe third option Stanton SMX-401.
I�m buying the mixer for home so the very good output I probably dont�t need, but I have 2 players and 2 turnables so the 4 chanel mixer is ideal for me I don�t know how will I put that on PPD01(I now I can but it is a little clumsy). On djx700 I know the bpm co. and fx are crap but I�m interesting are the other features good.

Thanks

The PPD01 has 3 Line inputs and 2 phono, plus can switch to full Line in Support for Turntables that have key correction, such as the TTX1 or Stanton STR8-80/100/150! so the PPD01 would be more than enough, unless you know how to mix with 3 or more tables at once those extra channels will be pretty useless!

^^ Dope I'm sure your gonna love it, especially after you get the feel for the ultra smooth faders!

chapter 3

Some people said that they have it for 2 years and it is still like new.
I don�t know but the ppd01 and matrix3 boath look same solid build to me and they boath have maximum killers per eq. Yes the ppd01 has digital faders but the I matrix3 has good outputs as well. I don�t realy need fx but I do sometimes need 3 chanel. Corect me if I�m going to make big mistake- I�m buying matrix3

Thanks

^^Well yes they both have kills but the PPD01 is the only mixer besides the Tascam X9 that gets complete silence from the channel when the eq's are turned to zero. I suggest you ask the store your about to purchase the Matrix 3 from, exactly what a sales person with Dj. experience thinks of the Matrix 3, and I'm sure you'll get your answer! And I can guarentee the Matrix 3, and PPD01 don't have the same build. For one the PPD01 weighs twice as much as the Matrux 3, caused by the heavily dampened rubber coating on the inside which makes it resistent to speaker feedback. The Matrix 3 does not have this in it! plus the Matrix 3 is made out of plastic and aluminum, the PPD01 is made from steel!
