all these extra filters that you guys are talking about... i'm assuming you'd need something like a send/return on your mixer? (i have a djm400, so i'm guessing all these things are useless for me?)

not necessarily...you do have the option of routing an external fx processor through your master. only drawback is you can't direct the fx to a specific channel

Then you'll only be able to filter the master. Not really useful.

A testament to the build quality of the DJM-800
pretty funny. nevertheless, both mixers are great and it really depends on what YOU, personally, need.
- just for clarification purposes: the picture depicts a broken headphone jack on the djm-800. I guess he was pulling his headphones out and along with it, came the entire jack (chip included).

Yes. Along with Deadmau5, and I believe the guy to the right of him is DJ Aero. I don't know who the dude on the far right is though.
That picture makes me lol. The similarities to it and cave men discovering fire is remarkable.

I suppose for Unicorn trance or McProg, a DJM 800 is a DJ's wet dream - it's a bare bones mixer with wretched sound quality (that oddly makes the music sound better) and horrible EQ curves, BUT with the simple turn of a knob even the most tone-deaf of DJ's can avoid key clashes for those random 16 notes where you might have misphrased a bassline and have competing frequencies. And let's not forget that flanger - the only effect that will ever be used on countless 800's the world over. What would trance be without that flange?!?
For everyone else, however, there are plenty of better choices - and certainly not just Allen & Heath choices. I just don't see how an educated consumer or DJ can prefer a DJM 800 to the literally dozens of better options out there.
Oh wait, it's got loads of pretty lights too. Nevermind. DJM 800 OR BUST, MANG! 4 LAIFE!
EDIT: FLANGING FOREVER! NEVER FORGET!
I use the envelopes all the time. I also use echo and delay a lot. The effects are actually quite practical

That photo is a great example of muppets using DJM-800s
