Ngaahhhh! God no! Stay away from these, they are terrible. You should be looking at Technics, and if you really can't afford these then have a look at the Gemini PT-2100.

Obviously the XL-500's are the decks which you can afford, the PT-2100's would cost some $$ more but ther are worth it..
Numark have similar priced direct decks for around the same price for the XL-500's.. but from what i've heard, the cheaper Numark decks arent as good as the Gemini's
There are also the Stanton STR8-50's which have straight arms for mainly scracthing (which i dont think you are looking for) but they do provide better quality than the Gemini's for a slightly lower price than the XL-500's

They will probably be belt driven dex which are greatly hindered compared to direct drive dex.

Keep away from Belt Drive's..They will drive you Bonka's in the long run and you will have a real low learning curve.
Try hiring a set of 1200's and you will want them

Whatever you need to do to get tech1200's do it. I know they are expensive...but they are the only decks you want to learn/use/whatever. There is a reason why they are the only decks used in every club in the world.
They are worth it.
Peace,

The XL-500's arent belt driven.. they are direct.. the motor is weak because its one of the cheapest directs on the market.
The Stanton STR8-50's would have a higher torque motor.
And once and for all, yeah Technic's 1200's are the best, but this guy's budget doesnt stretch that far
what do you think of this set .. is het good to make a good start ?
