Help me decide how to spend my money =)

Alright, I'm pretty hung over ATM so I'll post the rundown.

I've got about $500 right now that's burning a hole in my pocket. Future income is sketchy as my summer job as a lifeguard is running short. I'm trying to decide if I want to...

a) Save up for a CDJ-1000 mk2

b) Buy a midi contoller and m-audio audiophile.

c) Buy lots of records.

I can't really make up my mind here. For one thing, I love Zabiela and what he does with the CDJ-1000 inspires me a lot. I also want to start spinning tracks and samples I make myself. On the other hand, I really want to start producing crazy shit, but I really need a midi controller to make those crazy melodies and clean sounding bass lines. Not to mention, putting notes into a sequencer one at a time is a real bitch. But if I make a cool track I'm just going to want to spin the CD-R of it in my sets.

And of course, I haven't bought records in 2 months while trying to save up for something, and it's making me go into withdrawl . I'm supposed to play a big college party some time in the near future too.

What to do, what to do....

A or C

B wil only lead to a LOT more money wanting/needing to be spent :P

id go A cause i think u should play some cds at the college party and you can just burn some stuff from ur computer onto cd and mix it in (not entirely legal but still)

also, from then on everytime u want a song, instead of buying it on vinyl, first DL it and burn it onto cd and mix it into ur mixes for a while and then decide if u like it still then go buy it on vinyl!

Why dont you get a CDJ-800... its half the price of the 1000 and does virtually the same thing. Theres a few upgrades, but nothing so big that will change the whole complexion of the song or mix.
