I didn't say the 800 isn't worth considering, I agree it's MUCH nicer than the 500/600. But he has a Rane, and I'm sorry but moving to a Pioneer 800 from that mixer just doesn't make any sense to me.

The Rane will still be relevant and working great in 10 years. The Pioneer will long be obsolete.

Pioneer mixers of the past have not been rated highly and if anyone has mixed on them it's very clear why. But with the 800, Pioneer really went back to the drawing board and put out an excellent, studio & club worthy mixer.

We can go back and forth forever and I've owned Rane's so I'm a huge fan, but I don't believe the Pio is not worth considering when you take into account the tech specs, features, and price point compared to the Rane, A&H, and Urei.

I think any master mixer would prefer the urei. Better yet give me a Bozak.

Fair enough. I say keep the Rane and buy the Pio too!
