Turntable Dilemma

OK here is my dilemma...

I can buy 2 new mk2's right now or I can wait 2-3 weeks to save up the extra $100 for the mk3's. What would you all suggest I do. Is it real hard to beat match near 0 pitch on the mk2's and if so does it warrant saving up for the mk3's. Also I like the dust covers on the mk3's better but I am assuming that you can unscrew the covers on the mk2's. Any info you can provided will be much appreciated.

id say just save up the extra and go for the MK3s
whats 2-3 weeks extra to wait!

mind you easier said than done

i say DONT SAVE
and spent it on records

example:

what will happened when i come 2 a club that has the mk2 in it? (like most clubs, i think), u will need 2 get USED to the feeling of the *click* in around the 0 % of the mk2.. it will help u afterwards..

just my 2 cents

I still say save. Will be worth it in the long while when all clubs switch to M3Ds and also, if you run into the -0+ pitch slide problem, just give the playing track a plus or minus of a few 1/10 percents and then you don't need the other one to be around 0.

dude i say save as well hey
alot of clubs use mk3s.... the click isnt that hard to get used... too seriously...
when someone in your situation like this... just save the dosh itl be worth it in the long run...

the click @ 0 doesn't really matter if you're spinning trance anyways

i mean how often are trance tracks played at 0?

im usually playing them around +4 to +8

I say save up for 3d's, the pitch control just feels better, and sometimes after a long use, the pitch fader wears out around 0%, you wouldn't want that shit... Also alot of clubs use 3d's...
