New Equipment What do you recommend?

I used to be the proud owner of a pair of Vestax PDX-2000s but UPS fucked em up and now they are cutting me a phatty 2300 dollar insurence check which is def. more than what the shit was worth. Oh well...

To the point I'm not sure if I shuold go for the vestax again but then again technics are the only other decks I've played on. Any reccomendations? I have it narrowed down to....
Vestax Pdx-2000 $349
Technics sl-1200 $300
Numark ttx $300
Denon DP-DJ151 $300

As you can see cost really isn't a factor minus the vestax. So based on that which would you get and why?

This is a DJ Booth question...should be moved there by a mod.

Go with two BRAND NEW Technics SL1200 s. And you probably want the M5G's since it is the newest revision.

No point in buying used if you have the money. My used techs (while I love them) have had some problems and I could have bought a new one for the price that I paid to buy and am paying to fix the one that is currently in the shop.

You could get a pair of techs, a pair of pretty nice cdj's, and a really good mixer for 2300 bucks man. Go into a guitar center I bet with that much gear they would give you a sweet deal.
