That's such a stupid suggestion.

It's like saying "Hey I'm looking to buy a new car, is this one good?"

"Skip getting that car and take the train instead."

Both will get you places but are totally different.

Nobody that is interested in Ableton should go out and just buy a bunch of gear. Get the demo, read read read, and play around with it (a LOT).

I love the program and use it all the time, but really don't love DJ'ing with it.

I'll take decks for that any day... for me it's just a hell of a lot more fun and more in line with what I want to get out of DJ'ing. Everyone is different.

All these people who spout "Ableton is the future of DJ'ing" are a bit off. Ableton isn't the future, it's the present. It's been around for like 6 years, and there's a reason some people love it and others don't.

It'll be interesting to see what other innovations come along integrating software with a traditional DJ'ing experience.

But if the original poster is looking at the CDJ-1000 MK3's, they are great decks and will be relevant for quite some time. And with DVS systems like Torq and Serato, you can expand your horizons even further using the same equipment.
