The 800s are a good choice I'de say if your trying to keep a budget and new to mixing and or if you aren't picky about the 6% pitch range that the 1000s have, which is at a 0.02 resolution, supposed to be more precise then the 10% @ 0.05, the smaller the less corrections you have to make. Ask DJ RJT, I know he has CDJ 800s, the MK1s, and I was actually thinking about getting those myself, but I had some extra money that I wasn't planning on using so I just went with the 1000s. The 800s don't have as many saved cue points, you can't save them on a memory card that the 1000s come with, and the player itself is smaller, with a lighter platter than the 1000s. Overall, good choice.
With the mixer..if your planning on adding a third CDJ someday i'de get something like an Ecler Nuo 3. If all you are planning on doing is using two CDJs, your fine with the DJM 400, it's just an improved version of the DJM 300, and I haven't heard anything bad about it, seems like a solid mixer. You could also look into the Numark DXM-06, but I trust Pioneer mixers to Numark, they have a better reputation.
Besides i'm thinking about getting the DJM 400 to replace my Vestax PCV 275, so if I can use that with the 1000s, the 800s are good too. It's just a marketing gimick to them to say that the CDJ 200s work well with the DJM 400, but that mixer works with anything. You really don't need a 4 channel mixer like the DJM 600, Xone:92 or the DJM 800, don't know why people on here use those when they only have two CDJs...a 2 or 3 channel mixer is all you need.
