to be perfectly honest, the cdj100 is way too over-priced. you can get more useful cd decks for cheaper. have a look at the numark axis9, here it is about £30 cheaper and it has loads more cool and useful features. for example, the axis 9 has scratching (4 types of), scratch start as opposed to stutter start, 2 seamless loops, hot cueing (dont know if the cdj100 has that) 12 effects inc echo, chop, pan, flange, SLEEP!!! (not many cd decks have this function, its a reverse function, but jumps the tune back to where it would have been had you not pressed it), phaze + more... start/stop speed adjustment (as in like a brake adjustment on a deck, it slows the tune down slower or faster), touch sensetive jog-wheel.
at the end of the day, the cdj100 will probably last longer, but other than that IMO the axis9 is just better value for money for a low-end cd deck.

but maybe you'd like to try some other mixers first, though I doubt that you'll find anything in the low budget range as good as this. Go for the CDJ-100s, they are great cd players, cheap, and the effects are cool to mess around since you'll have a mixer with no fx.
I would look at either a pair of numark axis9's (really it's a good cd deck trust me i own and use mine all the time) and a ecler concept 2 or 3 mixer, or a pair of cdj-100s and a pcv-275.
