Using the 800's with 0.05% increments just means using the jog wheel more often. I've found that riding the pitch doesn't really help too much on the 800's, as it's finicky enough even when trying to move it +/- 0.05%.

Where are you getting your tunes from?

Don't play downloaded mp3s unless you're absolutely sure of the quality. Many tunes are terribly ripped and will slide.

As well, even a lot of tunes you get from beatport and whatnot will slightly slip, though this is getting more rare.

Practice more. You should be able to lock tracks for a very, very long time with .05% pitch precision.

And it would be magic to keep two 1200's locked for the entire track length without correction, except once in a while when you get VERY lucky.

Although they have theoretically infinite pitch, I defy you to move a 1200's pitch slider in even an "equivalent" .05% increment.

Try using a DVS, even a tiny push of the 1200's slider (like a millimeter or less) usually causes more like a .1 to .2 change in pitch, which is why people ride the pitch on 1200's (and yes, the good DVS's can resolve pitch VERY well, with my CDJ's they detect even the CDJ's .02 changes).

The 1000's do have a finer pitch resolution but if your still having a problem with the 800's i don't think there would be much need to upgrade . I think you should try and figure whats going wrong whether its yourself or a problem with the 800's and then maybe upgrade to 1000's. Personally i'm keen on the 800's and wouldnt want to upgrade
