Yep that's me, gear whore.

The Ecler looks really cool, with all you can program on it and such. Would I take an Ecler mixer over a Korg? Absolutely. Not that the Korg is bad, I just think the Ecler is a better DJ mixer.

It depends on what you want to do really. If you're going all out ableton, go with the VCM-600 (if it's even out yet, it's been constantly delayed). If you're going more hybrid DJ setup, then something like the Evo 5, Xone 4D, Zero 8 makes sense.

But really, how much of this do you really need to mix trance. Layering and looping and effecting to that extent really only works for the more minimal genres
