Buy two 200's and an 800mk2. That's how i'd roll.

The 1000's are awesome pieces of kit man. If money wasn't an optio, mamma mia i'd have a few of them.

it does sound continuous. jumping instantly to the saved point, and can be really good when used well, remixing on the fly, extending buildups etc.
I thought I'd use them a lot, but not really. most of the time find myself manually cueing each time I play a track. Most often I use them to save loops on short intro tracks so I don't have to reset the loop every time (only on mk3's and the cmx3000 - earlier mk's don't save the loops to a hot cue).

im not sure thats the reason why people buy them.
People can be gullable they think its the industry standard and is most expensive so must be the best pioneer take advantage of that and throw an extra 2-£300 on top of the price and people will still buy them.

If you wanna go pro buy the 1000's.

I have 200's, they're fucking amazing. I wouldnt look twice at a 1000 unless it had a spinning platter.

Yeah but it's because Pioneer CDJ's don't have spinning platters is what makes them so good compared to the competition.

Spinning platters look pretty, and might be useful for scratch DJ's. But for mixing it's just a hindrance. Everyone with DN-S3500's I know turns off the platter for mixing, because you can't pitch bend with it reliably while it's spinning.

so are you getting the 1000's or what?

I have a 800mk2 and a 1000mk3 this is what i suggest you get then you have the best of both. You have the tricks to use from both of them and the finer pitch. 0.05 on the 800 and 0.02/0.05 on the 1000. Also if not using mp3 then I would get the 800mk1 and the 1000mk2(of ebay) and save more money.
