There is a cheaper Pioneer mixer.. the DJM-300, it's about 300$-350$, but for that price you can get the Vestax or the Roland which are a bit better... but this mixer is also a quality mixer.

There is a cheaper mixer from Technics too, but it's a scratch mixer.. not compatible for trance mixing.. the model is SH-DJ1200 and it sells for about 250$.
