$1200 - Help me spend this on CD Setup

Hi Guys, during the past year I have ripped apart my mixer due to hours upon hours of mixing. Faders gone, rubber on knobs torn off and the circuitry is failing.

My 2 tables are in excellent condition and I am currently in the market to spend up to $1200 on a new CD/mixer setup.

Requirements:
2 stand alone CD players (not rack mounted)
New 4 channel mixer with a built in sampler (Built in effects would be a plus). A Balanced XLR output and a digital out would also be fantastic.

With all the new mixers and cd players from Stanton, Numark, etc. What kind of setup would you all reccommend based on my $1200.00 price range.

thats a tough budget for those requirements

def cdj200s, maybe the numark 5000fx mixer ~$500, i hear its pretty good, and i think it can sample

If you can do without the sampler I'd go with 2 CDJ200s and a VMC-004

What about the Denon DN-S1000 or the Vestax CDX-05? Anyone has experiences with these 2?

For the mixer look at denon x1500 or Numark they are the ones with sampler and as for CD decks if you need scratching then vestax and no scratching then get Pio 200.
