The worst thing with the A&H is the cross fader if you like your tricks. It sucks ass.

Most people that have posted have excluded the X1500 from there choice, which is fine. The 'Industry Standard' DJM600, is still a great mixer, but I think it starting to get passed pretty quickly by a few of the mixers that were mentioned. I have never used a A&H so I won't make any comments other than the amazing sound quality that A&H are known for, but it is quite expensive for home use. The DJM has OK sound quality considering the amount you still have to pay these days to get one, great EQ's, effects, etc. Now as for the X1500, which IS the best mixer I have ever used... Great EQ's, excellent effects unit (minus the fact that is should be a fader instead of a knob). is upgrade with the firmware, the Matrix system is quite useful for addition 'effects', the faders are really smooth, and the headphone cue is amazing.. the sound quality is between the DJM and A&H. and for the price cheaper than both, you can't really loose. But this is all just IMO.

One of the two mixers I will be considering when I upgrade... either the Ecler or Nuo5... my buddy (DannyO) had to pick between the two and finally went with the Ecler.... and I love that mixer.. but time will only tell.

I don't follow he had a choice between the Ecler and the Nuo5?? Ecler makes the Nuo5... unless you mean the Nuo5 and the DN-X1500??, DJM-600??, Xone 62???

I hear that. I just got a ton of cash from my student loan. I keep telling myself it is not really my money and that I have to pay it back. Still it is really tough knowing I can actually pay for it, especially when I couldn't for so long. I guess it helps that it is not available in the US yet, but I heard it is supposed to be released here this month (that will really be a test of my will power ).

I assume you mean the VU meters for each channel. I think you can live without individual ones, it still has a seperate meter for all the cued channels (the single meter to the left of the double meter which is the master out). So when you cue a channel, it shows up on that display which is seperate from the master one (unlike my current Numark mixer).

Something I like about it (from reading, never used it) is the FX fader instead of a knob, apparently this makes using the FX really easy. Also I like the fact it has slightly longer faders than some other mixers (like the DN-X1500 and maybe the DJM600, not sure about that one). I also hear good things about the sound quality which is a plus. I also really prefer the layout of it compared to the DN-X1500, though I hear the matrix input on the DN-X1500 is cool.

I am curious as too how effective the MIDI out is. I think it good really open up some possibilities with Ableton Live or something similar.

For me personally it is between the Nuo or an Empath. One reason I am leaning towards the Nuo is that it is bigger so the layout is more spread out.
