New mixing setup from the ground-up

So after my 2 CDJs and Mixer (CDJ 200's, Numark 2-Channel) got badly damaged on my latest flight, I have no decks nor way of mixing. As such, I'm on the market to both replace and upgrade my setup. I figure that repair costs are going to be very high (though I'll get a quote this week). Basically just wanted to hear what people had to say regarding this matter.

I'm strongly considering going digital with Traktor - If I buy an Audio 4 DJ, it now comes bundled with Traktor Duo. I can always upgrade to Pro later (I think for $70). I'd also need a controller of sorts, NI offers their own, but I'd like to hear any other suggestions regarding the matter. My Numark DXM06 mixer is the one thing from my setup still functioning, so I suppose I could run Traktor through that as well. Anyones thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Note: Since I don't own a Mac and given that I already have a massive CD collection, I'd still continue to play out using CD's. This setup would be mainly for home, private gigs, and for recording.

I have a Kontrol X1, which is NI's new-ish midi controller. I'm using it with Serato and really like it even though I haven't fully mapped it yet.

My friend uses Traktor with 2 X1s and does some crazy 3/4 deck mixing. From what he's told me, using the X1s with Traktor is an absolute blast.

The X1 is $200 US, so its not that big of a drop in cash.

i'd get a mixer that has midi too so you can go digital and if you don't like it you can have a real mixer too.

DJM 800 has midi, problem it's price but there are similar things.
