I have one and I love it. I've played on a tech a few times, and the TTX1 has a LOT more torque! This is good and bad. Good because it is very stable and powerful, but bad because it takes more effort to adjust it with your hand. This isn't an issue if you only use the pitch slider though. The table is very solid, weighing in at about 30lbs, and it looks really slick too. The lights are very nice and blue, though if you have it set up high and at an angle, the LED is hard to see--not that you need it that much anyway.
The BPM on the TTX1 isn't that accurate, but it gets the point accros, and once you learn it's quirks, it's not that hard to use--if you so choose to use it.
The Numark is more versatile than the Tech, and I think that it will stand up to the test of time too. I'm using a Shure whitelable cart and the sound is excellent. The ability to adjust start and stop times is neat, and you can even instantly reverse the direction, which, though has a slight delay, can be used for some neat effects.
The tone arm is very nice and sensitive, unlike other Numarks. Balancing is easy, switching between S and str8 tonearms is a snap and all of the adjustments make it very easy to use!
Overall, I think that it surpasses the techs and will take the crown once time has proven that the TTX1 will last. The specs are better than the techs, and it looks more modern, period. (though some may not think better, the TTX1 is defintely more modern looking than the tech). This table is a great choice, and now that you can get it cheaper than a tech, it is well worth the price!

its awesome. I spin some breaks in some of my progressive/house sets, and wanted to add a tiny bit of scratching. Its really nice to be able to change my "S" arm to a straight in about 30 seconds.
