Gemini PT 2100's mate..
I used to spin on them, they are great decks, strong motors. Just overall great decks for beginners. Prolly one of Gemini's best decks.
The 1650, well I find to be pretty fucking weak. The local record shop has one or two for pre-listening, and they just seem really cheap IMO.
If you buying used, Just do a quick check to make sure to set the deck in Quartz Lock and look to see that it holds pitch and isn't fluttering.

whats your budget? im sure we'd be more of a help if we knew that..
My budget is around 450€ (~300£)
In fact for this price I can get the 2 Gemini and a Numark mixtable
or only the 2 Numark 1650.
What I forgot to say is that the Gemini are my brothers one, I already know these. They are a little crappy on the outside but inside they are still good.
Btw thx for the answers

I'd recommend the Geminis aswell, there very good beginner decks.

I owned a set of Numark TT1600 and they were not bad decks for a beginner. They were durable, reliable and cheap. I have not used Gemini decks so I can not comment on them or tell you to pick the Numark's over them. But they 1600's I had were nice decks for the price.

those two decks are not even in the same league. go with the 2100!
I own a pair of the gemini pt2100's and they are a very good intermediate deck.
Comparable to the 1210 (mk2) in my opinion, and yes i have spun on both fairly frequently.
