Should i sell my decks/vinyls and get cdjs?

i have a pair of technics and over of 250 vinyls (www.discogs.com/~toufas ,the list is missing some rls that arent listed on discosgs)
i really like the things that the modern days cdjs can do and i can see the rise of labels offering digital content.
Should i sell my decks and get a pair of cdj 1000 or the new denon? do u think that i will be able to sell lots of vinyls in order to lower the cost?

Wouldn't it make more sense to keep the Technics and the vinyl and just add a CDJ to your setup?

at this moment 99.99 % of the stuff that gets released is vinyl only. so you still need to keep a turntable to digitize all your vinyl for cd use. (this can be a SL or a old thorens table)

so if you don't really care about cue-points, wave-data and all the other functions cd players have these days, you'd be better off by keeping your turntables.

This is true. Just add a CDJ to your setup. Both vinyl and CDJ alone have their little problems and advantages, but together they are golden.

I would not sell your turntables.
Turntables will be a staple in every venue for quite some time. CDjs - not as much.

Plus if you are used to playing on 3 decks, it is rare that you will come across a 3 CD deck set up.

Would you rather you press buttons and have a 500 dollar processor do the job for you or stick with doing the job manually?
