the xone is probabaly a little better but it all depends on what you feel comfortable with, and how much money you are willing to spend.
The reason why I think it's a rip-off is because, in my opinion, you pay too much and dont' get enough in return. I'm not saying that it's a bad mixer per se, because it's far from being bad. I just think that it being such an old mixer, and with so many mixers that offer more features, better sound quality and so forth...it's hard to justify that pricetag.
I don't know why we're comparing it to the Xone though, as the 2 mixers offer a totally different experience. Like you said though, it all comes down to what you're more comfortable with, preferences, and so on.

go with the behringer its gonna last you longer & you get more with less
if you think the mixer is too much and you think you will continue buy the vmx 300 by behringer, i been using my friends VMX300 & have NOOO complaints unless your comparing it to a pioneer ;d
i'm going to get this behringer.
but would like to get the cdj's for a cheaper price that i've seen online.
what stores are there around toronto/mississauga area????

I've been doing a lot of reading in the DJ Booth / other forums and the Vestax PCV-275 seems like a highly recommended mixer... Though I believe its discontinued, I picked a new one up for $200 just a few days ago actually.
It seems nice enough, 3 channels allowing for future expansion... etc.
And I went the other route and got a pair of 1200mk2s for $400.
Then blew 200 on a sennheiser hd25-1 + upgraded pads.
The vinyl will kill me. Both in cost and finding good ones... ah well...
Also, I'm pretty much in the same booth as you. I need a new hobby, I've been obsessed with 'the perfect mix' since I was like 12... and I need to kill some more time
/sorry for the partial threadjack

PS. stay away from vestax
this man speaks from wisdom. totally agree.
every point he makes is right... you dont have to buy something super expensive... but u have to get something at least average... other wise the crap gear u do get will hold you back until u can afford to upgrade.
for example, u dont have to get CDJ1000's off the start... CDJ800's are good enough, but they're quality.
Well I will have to say that I would take an Xone 62 or 92 over the DJM600 or 800 anyday
Unless your into crazy fucked up skillz like zalbia(sp?) then you will never need the 800 .. most big name djs will say 92 over anything but the RANE rotary mixers ..
you can get the Xone62 for like 900 bucks ... which is a really good deal .. i paid 750 for mine .. but thats cuz i bought 2cdj1000s with it ..
the cdj800s are amazing decks and well worth the price
dont get anything under the cdj200 tho
