the amount of thought that's gone into it!

the layout is beautiful, the contols are wicked (see wet/dry fader) the effects unit i have heard is fantastic (Internal beat synchronized sound processors with L.F.O, Manual HP Filter, Manual LP Filter, Delay, Reverb, Pitch, Flanger, Phaser, Filtered Echo (Band Pass Delay), Echo Reverb and Flanger Echo). it has much easier fx send selection than a djm600. it has uber-sound quality and upgradable firmware (via USB link to your computer) there is also fx customisation capability through the USB link software which you get with the mixer!!!!!!!!

it has midi outputs, as well as XLR. bass kill switches on each channel, as well as phono inputs on all main channels (other mixers only have 2 or 3 channels with phono inputs). it also has 2 master volume controls, meaning that if you need a lower output for a recording device, yet you need a higher output for playback, you can do it! it has posh magnetic 'eternal' x-fader with curve-control which are guarenteed up to 5 years (more than the pcv x-fader from vestax!)

i wouldn't worry about the lack of VU meters on each channel, they arn't essentially needed (although it can help when you have 3 tracks on the go, quick reference) as whichever channel you have on cue will be on the dedicated cue VU meter, next to the master VU meter.

by the way, its more like £800

in a nutshell, this mixer IS the one.
