Really don't want to spend more as I don't need onboard fx and I don't play MP3's (at least not without converting them to audio cd's first).
I just really need to know if the CDJ 100 breaks really easily and has decent enough resolution on the pitch fader.

It'll be sturdy enough - but the resolution is rubbish.
.1 resolution, compared to .02 on the CDJ200.
this equates to 5 times the accuracy.

A DJ once told me he dropped his CDJ 100 from waist height, picked it back up, and it worked fine. Waist hight is pretty damn high for something of that size/mass.

i heard the cdj 500 has a stupid jog wheel that starts fast forwarding if you spin it too much (or something like that). it has looping though, doesn't it?
the cdj-100s' have the same pitch resolution as the cdj-500s 0,1%.
nothing wrong with the cdj-100s' though, compared to the cdj-500s. i have two myself but i've been thinking of maybe upgrading to a pair of cdj-200s' because of the pitch resolution.
The jog wheel does fast forward (but only a bit) when you really spin it, but usually if you spin that hard it's gonna bugger the mix anyway.
The pitch resolution on the 500 is OK, but the nice thing about it is that if you push the pitch fader to between say 0.4 and 0.5 it will "flicker" between the two speeds. And the closer you push it towards a given value (say 0.5), it will flicker more often on that (0.5) and less often on 0.4 (if you get what I mean).
