Personally get whatever you want to use at home. Know that if you start getting gigs that you will be expected to know how to use whatever equipment they have. If all they have is a crap dual CD deck well you better be able to use it because that is your job. I've never been a fan of taking my own gear to a gig but that is just me.

And setting up two CDJs in a booth where access is limited is just as difficult/easy as setting up SSL/FS2. It just takes pluggin in a few cables.

Not true at all; I have been DJing with Traktor and a MIDI controller thus far, and I plan on getting FS or Serato, I was just curious as to why more people don't.

I've been producing for a few years Already have the PC, that's not an issue.

You'll be surprised, just as Ableton Live is to the EDM Scene, Serato is to the hip hop scene. Serato on the hip hop scene is HUGE! Everyone is switching to it. Hip Hop DJs that first laughed at me when I began using computers to mix are now using it. It's blowing up.
